Instructional Framework
The Language and Literacy framework is the instructional design for best practices in language and literacy teaching and learning from kindergarten through grade eight. The framework includes three components: language and phonics/word study, reading workshop, and writing workshop. It involves the integration of science and social studies content with the language arts. A key feature of the teaching is the use of ongoing assessment to inform teacher decision-making. The implementation of the instructional model is specific to the needs of primary or intermediate learners.
