The K–3 literacy program is grounded in the Science of Reading, an evidence-based approach that explains how children learn to read and write most effectively. Instruction is explicit, systematic, and cumulative, ensuring students develop strong foundational skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Teachers utilize high-quality instructional materials alongside targeted small-group instruction and ongoing assessment to guide student progress and meet individual needs. In addition, educators participate in Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS) professional learning, which deepens their understanding of literacy development and strengthens instructional practices. This comprehensive implementation ensures that all students receive the support necessary to become confident, proficient readers and builds a strong foundation for lifelong academic success.
