Charlottesville City Schools

Literacy, Language Arts, and English

At Charlottesville City Schools. we believe literacy is a civil right that has the power to create equitable outcomes for every student.

To achieve this, we will:

Ensure equitable opportunities for all students to do the cognitive work of each lesson and receive targeted support as needed
Build a strong foundation in oral language and word recognition through explicit instruction so that students can make meaning of and understand grade-level, complex text
Provide all students strong literacy instruction with a vertically aligned PreK-12 scope and sequence rooted in science-based reading research
Increase the instructional capacity of every teacher and leader through sustained professional learning aligned to Science of Reading and Evidence Based Literacy Instruction
