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.
NISD Reading Language Arts Mission: To empower educators to provide rich, relevant, and meaningful literacy experiences that foster thriving students.
NISD Reading Language Arts Vision: All students are empowered to become responsible, responsive, and compassionate members of a global society.
Steubing Approach: Here at Steubing ES, teachers provide students authentic opportunities and time to interact with texts as both a reader and a writer throughout the school day.
