Have you noticed your child coming home tapping out sounds, pounding out words, or singing phonics songs? These are just a few of the exciting strategies our Wildcats are learning through Structured Literacy, which takes place daily in our Kindergarten through 2nd Grade classrooms.
Structured Literacy is a research-based approach to reading instruction that teaches students how letters, sounds, and words work together. Through explicit, systematic, and engaging lessons, our youngest learners are building the foundational skills they need to become confident, successful readers.
We are already seeing the positive impact this instruction is having on our students' reading development!
We invite you to watch the video below for a glimpse into a Structured Literacy lesson in Mrs. Pace's classroom. Her enthusiasm, creativity, and ability to engage every learner demonstrate the incredible instruction happening at Ambler each day.
We are grateful for our dedicated teachers and supportive Ambler families who work together to help our Wildcats develop a lifelong love of reading.
At Ambler, we are Growing Stronger Together—one sound, one word, and one reader at a time!
