My students are coming from Kindergarten, where they have started to build their fundamental understanding of reading, writing and spelling. Receiving these resources will further strengthen these critical skills during this foundational time as readers and writers. This is why I chose a project that has evidence-based curriculums that not only nurture foundational skills but push students to go beyond the standards. I have chosen the highly researched Lucy Calkin's Readers and Writers Workshop Units of Study and Words Their Way series. These curriculum will supplement the few classroom texts we have. These materials understand how each content area builds off each other and should be used together in order to support student growth simultaneously. I have used these curriculum materials in other classrooms and have seen how positively students respond to this fluid way of instruction. I believe reading and writing are the keys to accessing knowledge. Starting my students off with a strong foundation will mean inevitable continued growth throughout the rest of their lives.
