The School District of Beloit literacy curricula are highly rated and aligned to Wisconsin state English Language Arts standards. Our vision for literacy learning is to build strong reading foundational skills and grade-level understandings for all students through culturally relevant and responsive instructional practices, strategies, and resources to meet each learner's language and literacy needs. Through rigorous and engaging instruction in the domains of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking, we will develop students' language abilities so that they can analyze, interpret, summarize, and synthesize information from multiple sources and perspectives to make meaning of the complex world around them. By nurturing strong home, school, and community literacy partnerships, the School District of Beloit’s literacy programs will nurture the joy of reading and a strong, lifelong literacy identity within each learner so that they may excel in their pursuit of college, career, and community opportunities.
