• ELA Module

    Several years ago South Lewis adopted the NYS Common Core ELA Modules. Using this curriculum we utilize fiction and non-fiction texts to learn and practice several different reading and writing strategies.  During module time we focus heavily on determining the main idea of a text, finding key details and learning new vocabulary. Most of this work is completed in class and the papers do not typically go home until we have finished with a module.

     Guided Reading

     This block of our day is used to meet with small groups of students to work on specific literacy skills. These groups meet with a teacher to work at their instructional level. While the teacher is working with groups the other students are working independently at their seats on spelling word work, independent reading, corrections or other assignments.
