Over the next few weeks of the school year, we will be
introducing a comprehensive literacy framework that the elementary schools will
be following beginning next year. This
framework will outline different components, strategies, and delivery methods
of the language arts block that teachers can follow. Staff will be provided with professional
development in each of these areas for a deeper understanding of the
comprehensive framework. Many of you
probably already do a lot of this in your classrooms. You may have heard this referred to as
balanced literacy. We decided to call it
comprehensive literacy framework instead of balanced. Comprehensive means “complete and broad” as
opposed to the word “balanced” which can lead some teachers to believe that
each component of the framework is given equal time.
We are providing you with a graphic to look over prior
to tomorrow’s Tuesday Morning Meeting.
We are very excited to have this framework, as many times, teachers are
not certain on how to fill the 90 to 120 minute language arts block.
Below is graphic displaying the components of the
comprehensive literacy framework:
We hope you have a great week.
