Our Reading curriculum provides an
individualized approach to developing reading
skills, comprehension and higher order
thinking skills among both new readers and
struggling readers of all ages.  Spelling,
language usage, and written communication
skills are developed in tandem with reading
comprehension.  Higher order thinking skills
are both taught and applied throughout the
curriculum.

By listening for the sounds as well as by selecting, manipulating and recognizing
the letter combinations in printed text, meaningful text is introduced at the earliest
possible stage of the student's development.  Individualized instruction will ensure
that each student’s stories and reading selections are directly linked to the letters,
sounds, and words that the student is learning at a given point in time. Throughout
the curriculum, cross-curricular content (including natural and social sciences and
history), provides abundant practice in applying reading skills to other subject
areas.  Students are also exposed to a variety of literary forms and authors while
expanding their vocabulary and comprehension.
