BALANCED LITERACY
Because reading is a vital skill to be successful in today’s
society, we believe that as educators, our responsibility is
to design a reading program that will reach ALL levels of
students and will be relevant, successful, and fun!
Balanced literacy is a program that was developed on the principle
that ALL children can read and write!
It follows the gradual release of responsibility from teacher to
students.
It incorporates all elements of literacy and integrates other content
areas into reading and writing as well.
