How We Teach Reading

Reading is the promise this school is built on. In kindergarten through second grade, children learn with UFLI Foundations — systematic, explicit phonics in the Science of Reading tradition — so decoding becomes automatic and comprehension can grow. In the upper grades, the Amplify curriculum builds knowledge and vocabulary on top of that foundation.

 

Every student's reading is checked three times a year with mClass assessments. Teachers see who needs help within weeks, not at report-card time, and parents see the results too.

 

This is a school led by a certified synthetic phonics trainer — our principal has trained hundreds of teachers in reading instruction, in the United States and internationally. Reading isn't a program we bought. It's who we are.
