Language Arts - Primary Years Curriculum
Reading, writing, listening, and speaking give the primary students varied opportunities to build language. The language program is deliberately eclectic in response to individual learning styles. The reading program is implemented through literature-based reading instruction, a whole language approach, and the systematic teachings of phonics. One of the exciting aspects of the reading program is the quality and breadth of literature used. In writing, the goal is to develop an easy flow of ideas and the ability to translate thought to print comfortably and begin to self-edit. The components of process writing are developed through the grade levels. The children participate in creative writing by discussing ideas and sharing their work.
