Navajo Elementary – Literacy Strategies

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

Literacy Strategies I supports the emergent adolescent reader. This course is designed to provide both individual and small group instruction in order to meet each student’s needs in reading components.  Instruction is guided by ongoing assessments. The student practices the essential reading elements:  fluency, vocabulary, word study, academic language, text structure, and comprehension. The student uses  several strategies for increasing comprehension of diverse texts such as summarizing, questioning,  predicting and previewing, using text structure, visualizing, and inferring. The student has a variety of  opportunities to learn, practice, and internalize these reading behaviors and strategies. The reading process,  reading application, and personal engagement with reading are major areas of focus. Literacy Strategies is  developed to support student mastery of the grade-level language arts reading process and reading analysis  standards. As the student progresses in skill development, he/she is assessed and moves to the appropriate  instructional level course the following year.
