In Northside, we follow a literacy framework that includes the explicit and systematic teaching of foundational literacy skills. The instructional components within our literacy framework promote the gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student. Our students engage in literacy learning during read alouds of mentor texts, shared and performance reading/writing, mini lessons, small group instruction, and independent reading/writing.
