Through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language instruction, students learn to become skilled communicators who read independently, think critically, write with confidence, and interact respectfully and responsibly with others.
Using an equity lens is essential in our work around literacy. Children build their own identities and learn about their world through the texts they read and have read to them. Effective literacy instruction must also be motivating, inspiring, and identity-affirming. To do this, children need to experience authentic and critical reading and writing activities in addition to learning the foundational skills of reading.
The City Schools of Decatur understands that learning to read transforms lives. Reading is the basis for the acquisition of knowledge, for cultural engagement, and for success in the workplace.
There are both holistic and component models of reading that recognize the complex, individualized, and multidimensional nature of learning to read (International Literacy Association, 2020). Multidimensional refers to various factors, processes, and sources of information that inform reading.
Following best practices of the Science of Reading, CSD has aligned the American Reading Company (ARC) Core, a comprehensive reading program, designed to best serve the needs of all students, with Fundations, a multisensory, structured language program ensuring all students receive a firm foundation in all strands of skilled reading.
In K-2, we focus on structured phonics delivered through the Expeditionary Learning framework and shift the focus to language comprehension through the International Baccalaureate framework for grades 3-12.
