Language Arts CFSD's language arts curriculum actively engages students, kindergarten through twelfth grade, in the processes of reading, writing, speaking, listening, viewing, and presenting. With a focus on the communication of meaning, students experience varied opportunities for functional language use. Programs provide for continuous, integrated process-oriented activities and extend and enhance thinking skills. Effective programs build on the student's prior knowledge and past experiences and is the basis by which other learning will take place. Writing Students write for a variety of purposes through the use of a series of interrelated steps known as a writing process.
Activities focus on prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, publishing, and sharing.
CFSD uses the 6-Trait analytical model for assessing and teaching writing. The use of 6-Traits helps our students recognize and produce excellent writing. Listening and Speaking Students engage in a variety of opportunities to both listen and speak in meaningful contexts. It is our goal to stimulate and sustain a love for reading and writing.
