READING — The reading curriculum is based on the four areas of guided reading, self-selected reading, working with words, and writing. Kindergarten uses the Harcourt Brace basal along with guided reading books matched with appropriate student levels, Fountas and Pinnell’s Phonics and Word Study and Hooked on Phonics. Grades one through four use the Houghton Miffin series as well as Harcourt Brace, depending on the individual student. Each grade also includes guided reading leveled texts that students choose as well as the Pinnell and Fountas Phonics and Word Work.
