Scuola Vita Nuova Charter School is committed to establish a child-centered Balanced Literacy environment that develops academic excellence in core subjects, multiple language acquisition, and an understanding and appreciation for art, music, and dance.

In Balanced Literacy Program classrooms:

• Children read and write often.

• Children study many genres.

• Children have ready access to books at their reading level.

• Teachers talk to students as fellow readers and writers.

• Children ask questions.

• Children improve their writing.

• Each day includes a sequence of whole class, small-group, and one to one instruction.

• Real literature becomes the catalyst for learning phonics, decoding skills, deepening comprehension, studying the craft of writing and exploring new genres.
