What is Balanced Literacy?
It is a comprehensive program of language arts acquisition. It contains all of the components necessary for students to master written and oral communication.
Areas of emphasis include:
- Reading
- Writing
- Speaking
- Listening
- Viewing
A balanced literacy plan is most effective when children are given direct instructional support and a variety of daily reading and writing experiences that are needed in the complex process of becoming independent readers and writers.
