Introduction of Scott Foresman Reading Program

The Academy has selected the Scott Foresman Reading Program, which meets the objectives of the Georgia Performance Standards for English/Language Arts. Correlation references are in the Teacher’s Edition and associated Student Edition pages. Scott Foresman Reading is a comprehensive, scientifically based reading program that aligns to the five critical areas of instruction identified by Reading First: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Text Comprehension. Scott Foresman is proud to introduce a totally new and systematic reading program for Kindergarten through Grade 8. The goal of the program is to develop independent readers, articulate writers and speakers, and discerning listeners and viewers.

Four elements: literature, phonics, accountability, and management all link to every teacher’s number one classroom goal of reading independence for every student. Reading independence is at the heart of instruction and the heart of Scott Foresman Reading.
