7. Enhance Literacy Instruction

8. Our School’s Focus on Literacy:
Improving reading levels based on Fountas & Pinnell’s Benchmarks
Growing classroom libraries and a LOVE for reading
Increasing the amount of time spent reading throughout the school day and at home
Balancing actual reading versus stuff
Meeting one-on-one and in small groups with readers
Implementing Jennifer Serravallo’s reading strategies
Providing Leveled Literacy Intervention (LLI) lessons
Participating in a coaching cycle
Continuing to implement the Lucy Calkins Units of Study in a writing workshop

9. In order to improve instruction, teachers are studying the literacy work of Jennifer Serravallo from Teachers College Reading and Writing Project (TCRWP) in New York City.
Through grade-level conversations around her books, a live webinar, an in-person workshop, her podcast, as well as modeling by a coach or through available videos, teachers are trying-out their instruction in a new way: using step-by-step explicit instruction.

10. How can you BEST support your learners at home?
Create and promote a habit of TIME spent reading.
Provide audio books along with the text.
Continue to listen to your child read while you follow along.
React and have conversation about the text with your child.
Talk about what a word means in that particular text.
Let your child witness you reading a book.
Spend time just browsing books.
If bags of books come home, sit side-by-side and read together.
Know that there is always “homework” – reading.
