Saranac Lake Central School District

Elementary Literacy Coach Page



We take great pride in providing the staff and students with best practices in education. Early literacy skills focus on the five big ideas in reading:

    • Phonemic Awareness
    • Phonic Instruction
    • Vocabulary
    • Fluency
    • Comprehension

    Language Arts instruction in grades kindergarten through third grade consist of a 90 minute uninterrupted block. Students engage in whole group, learning stations, and differentiated small group guided reading instruction. The primary language arts program includes Storytown* and model programs from Fountas and Pinnell. 

    Upper level classrooms use either StoryTown or Reading Workshop. Writing Workshop is taught in all 4-5 classrooms.
