Early Literacy

During September 29 Professional Development Day, most Cataline Elementary School primary teachers focused their day around early literacy instruction and programming. Teachers used the morning to collaborate and learn about a phonics program (UFLI) that focuses on the systemic and explicit teaching of foundational literacy skills. The program is being used at Cataline to support our young readers and build the skills necessary for reading. During the afternoon, the primary teachers were introduced to the Story Walk program. Led by Ms. Lebourdais, teachers explored and developed literacy kits designed to foster creativity and spark imagination, increasing written engagement and communication.
