Our Goal The Elementary Reading Curriculum Framework will ensure that all Reading Next Generation Sunshine State Standards are taught in the designated grade levels over the course of a school year. Further, it will ensure that FCAT- Tested Benchmarks are taught and revisited numerous times prior to the test.

Reading Frameworks Essential Ideas 1. Literary Text7. Synthesizing 2. Informational Text 8. Knowledge About Text 3. Monitoring Meaning9. Testing as a Genre 4. Prior Knowledge10. Questioning 5. Inferring 11. Creating Mental Images 6. Determining Importance in Text

How Were the Benchmarks Scoped? “The teacher first demonstrates the use of the strategy…then creates a safe and stimulating environment for students to practice the strategies in their own reading…most effective is..sharing in heterogeneous large groups..then reinforces that thinking in small groups and individual conferences.” (p.11) Understanding: Reading is a Process Understanding: The Sunshine State Standards are our Curriculum Understanding: Current research supports the effectiveness of explicit comprehension strategy instruction I DO WE DO YOU DO
