The Elementary Language Arts Office has compiled a wealth of resources for parents that complement the instruction that takes place in the classrooms. This site contains information about the Common Core, includes overviews of what students will learn in each grade, and activities and technology links to support student learning. Research strongly reports the benefits of wide reading and writing to promote literacy growth. In addition to exploring the materials listed on this site, parents are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to read and write regularly throughout the summer.
