Reading Strengths 1. Teachers create materials to supplement curriculum and meet individual needs. Teachers very capably modify the curriculum and their instruction to meet the needs of all levels of learners. We have Title I, Reading Recovery, and Gifted and Talented programs. The Special Education Resource Program supports students and teachers in curriculum and instruction.
Teachers use their time efficiently when teaching reading.
Time is provided in the daily schedule for grade level teachers to collaborate. Saxon Phonics homework system reinforces daily work and extends the classroom instruction. Instructional strategies focus on local curriculum objectives, however the basal programs need to be supplemented. Teachers recognize this and they supplement materials on a regular basis. There are not enough instructional assistants and therefore they must split their time between different classrooms.
