Language
Arts at Schechter
The language arts
program integrates the development of speaking, listening,
reading, and composition. Our approach to teaching language
arts is holistic and based on the concepts of developmental learning,
oral language development, literature-based reading instruction,
and writing as a process.
The goal of Language Arts
is for students to read, write, and speak well. We engage students in
learning...
·
skills
·
phonics
·
word
recognition
·
grammar
·
spelling
·
appreciation of literature
·
to
develop coherent compositions.
We teach reading and
writing in a natural way, introduce students to entire stories,
and foster understanding and meaning before skills. Students
engage in the process of communicating in writing using their own ideas and
focusing on clear presentation. They also use the writing of real authors
to develop the use of descriptive language, spelling, and
grammar.
Reading literature,
interpreting feelings, and sharing thoughts in a variety of ways
helps students acquire language in a complex, interactive, and social process.
The language arts program uses strategies which build on the vast warehouse of
knowledge children bring to the classroom.
