English

In the Glen Cove City School District, we support students as they become skillful and passionate readers who learn about themselves, the world, and others through diverse texts. We empower students to create change and beauty through clear, persuasive, and skilled writing. Our students develop identities as readers and believe in the power of their writing. Using the workshop model, our teachers ensure that students’ needs are met and students develop into confident readers and writers through a series of comprehensive units of study in which they develop the skills in reading and writing aligned to the New York State Next Generation ELA Learning Standards.

Readers and Writers of the Glen Cove City School District begin their literacy journey in elementary school with instruction in phonics, reading workshop, and writing workshop. Our students receive daily instruction in Reading, Writing, and Phonics through our established curricula from Teachers College Reading and Writing Project and Wilson Fundations.

Students who are not making progress in alignment with our Benchmark Assessment System (BAS) through Fountas & Pinnel may be scheduled for additional intervention and instruction in Reading. Our Reading Teachers use the Leveled Literacy Intervention Program (LLI) to support students in developing their reading skills. To learn more about LLI, please visit Fountas & Pinnell | LLI.
