Learning to read: What PSD’s new literacy curriculum looks like in elementary classrooms

Coming in from the playground at Poudre School District’s Livermore Elementary School, students in Kat Jayroe's kindergarten and first-grade classes leap into literacy. 

Jayroe reads a chapter from a “Magic Treehouse” novel to help shift students from one activity to the next. After excitedly answering questions about the story, they move into their literacy skills block, which focuses on the foundational skills needed to learn how to read.
