• SECONDARY ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND READING 

     

    91ÖÆƬ³§ Curriculum is aligned with state standards (the TEKS) and the most current research in the area of literacy instruction.  The language arts curriculum is delivered through a balanced literacy approach, which includes reading instruction (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension) as a partner of writing instruction (encoding).

    The teaching of literacy includes a balance of reading, writing, thinking, and discussing activities and is a social endeavor that provides a variety of instructional strategies to meet the needs of all diverse learners. 91ÖÆƬ³§ utilizes a workshop model which is taught in the context of authentic literature and includes a blend of whole group, small group and individual instruction. In addition, teachers scaffold students’ learning experiences to ensure students are in a zone of proximal development. It is a model that teaches students to become independent readers and writers.
