    Literacy Program Description

    The LRSD elementary literacy program uses curricular resources that support the Science of Reading and developing a culture of reading. 

    • Heggerty is used in K-2 to build phonological awareness.
    • Fundations is taught in K-3 to build foundational skills (phonics, vocabulary, fluency, high frequency word study, and handwriting) 
    • Wit and Wisdom (K-5) is a knowledge-building curriculum that develops language comprehension and writing through complex texts on high interest topics with the long-term aim of improved achievement in literacy for all students.
