Open Court is our core Language Arts program. |
Open
Court Reading
is a research-based curriculum grounded in systematic, explicit instruction
of phonemic awareness, phonics and word knowledge, comprehension skills
and strategies, inquiry skills and strategies, and writing and language
arts skills and strategies.
Reading
fine literature is one of the founding principles of Open Court
Reading. As children read classic and contemporary literature, they
discover the importance of clarity of thought and word. They enjoy
an abundant reading experience that moves them toward independent,
self-directed learning.
The Open
Court Reading literature selections exemplify how different forms
of literature can all express a particular theme. Through various
genres, children progressively deepen their understanding of the
thematic learning units presented.
