eStem Literacy

We remain committed to our core values, recognizing that all learners require high-quality, individualized, differentiated instruction. We will provide all our students with a rigorous, data-driven experience that holds all learners to high expectations.

eStem partners with Curriculum Associates and use i-Ready to help us determine students' strengths and areas for growth, personalize their learning, and monitor their progress throughout the school year. i-Ready allows us to meet our students where they are and equips us with valuable data to inform instruction.

In grades K-2, we use Magnetic Reading Foundations, a foundational skills reading program by i-Ready providing explicit, systematic, and scientifically based reading instruction that moves students from foundational skills to reading fluency. High-interest literary and informational texts draw young readers to grade-level reading, helping to solidify crucial foundational skills such as letter recognition, phonological awareness, phonics, high-frequency words, and more! Age-appropriate learning opportunities ensure all students are engaged and have access to the right content at the right time.

For grades 3-6, we implement Amplify CKLA which follows the Core Knowledge Sequence, a content-specific , cumulative, and coherent approach to knowledge building. This approach improves reading scores and closes achievement gaps by establishing a robust knowledge base that strengthens comprehension.

In our secondary classrooms (grades 7-12), we use HMH Into Literature. A curriculum that builds confidence, standards mastery, and college and career readiness for every learner in the classroom. Students benefit from high interest, culturally relevant texts and characters that have undergone a rigorous review for quality. HMH literacy programs offer a range of instructional approaches to ensure every student succeeds.
