A balance between child-initiated activities and teacher-directed instruction helps to ensure the development of all areas of growth and development, particularly language and literacy.
What is Success for All (SFA) ?
Instruction in the Success for All program is built around a cooperative-learning framework that engages students in rich discussion and motivating challenges every day. Detailed lessons for reading include rich media, and resources that support the development of systematic phonics instruction, vocabulary, background knowledge, fluency, and discussion skills. The Success for All program makes reading the cornerstone of the curriculum. Students are streamed by reading level to allow instruction to be closely matched to their current skills, promoting more effective and equitable reading progress.
Is Success for All just a reading program?
Success for All is a whole-school reform strategy that engages students and transforms instruction, learning, and school culture. SFA uses reading as its cornerstone because research shows that if kids are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade, they are more likely to continue to struggle in school, repeat grades, act out, and eventually drop out of school. SFAF also offers proven optional programs in math and writing.
