Read the StoryMore about myView Literacy
- What is myView Literacy?myView Literacy is a structured and interactive core-literacy program for Grades K-5, aligned to the Science of Reading. Through research based practices, authentic literature, including mentor texts, teachers can inspire growing readers and writers.
- What differentiation options does myView Literacy offer for teachers to tailor instruction to meet student needs?Differentiation options include content readers and decodable stories that give students more skills practice with additional text selections. The Reading Routines Companion provides additional options for reteaching foundational skills, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
- How can teachers use myFocus Intervention lessons?myFocus Intervention is a targeted, skill-specific, flexible resource. Many teachers use it for Tier 2 Instruction support in small groups. Lesson topics can be correlated with whole-group lessons or taught in isolation to help zero in on closing learning gaps.
- How does myView Literacy support English Language Learners (ELLs) during whole- and small-group instruction?For whole group instruction, tiered scaffolds that align with WIDA proficiency levels help ELL students engage with instruction at the same rate as their English-speaking peers. The Language Awareness Handbook provides teachers with scaffolded lessons that correlate directly with whole group instruction and give ELLs additional support.
- What routines does myView Literacy use to teach reading comprehension skills?Reading comprehension is an active process of extracting and building knowledge. myView Literacy utilizes a consistent five-lesson routine for teaching comprehension: establishing a purpose for reading; identifying text structure characteristics; building background knowledge and vocabulary; and assessing understanding through student-reflection. All lessons center around one anchor text–this enables students to gain comfortability with a selection and teachers to dive deeper into comprehension instruction.
- How does myView Literacy support students in learning to read and foundational skills?
myView Literacy is grounded in the Science of Reading, which indicates students need explicit systematic instruction in three critical foundational skills: Phonological Awareness, Decoding and Sight Word Recognition. These concepts are taught daily through a variety of researched based practices. As students progress through the primary grades, they grow as readers, relying on their strong foundation of reading skills to fluently read and comprehend text. - Does Savvas offer social-emotional learning opportunities throughout myView Literacy?myView Literacy incorporates the five pillars of social-emotional learning to ensure student success beyond the text. The program gives students the opportunity to work with peers on writing activities as they explain their views and develop the art of giving and receiving feedback. Each unit culminates with project-based learning where students work together to showcase their growth.
- What are some options for organizing the writing block in myView Literacy?The writing block can be organized in a variety of ways. Writing minilessons ensure that teachers are maximizing instructional time. Weekly Fast Track enables teachers to prioritize which lessons are most crucial for ensuring that all writing standards are covered.
- How can ESSER funding be used to support students in myView Literacy?ESSER is the federal COVID-19 relief aid for K-12 schools. All Savvas programs can be funded via ESSER, including myView Literacy.
- How does SuccessMaker work with myView Literacy?SuccessMaker Reading helps students achieve growth from any starting point. It’s an adaptive, evidence-based intervention tool under ESSA, with high-interest reading, tutorials, scaffolds, videos, and minilessons. SuccessMaker continually differentiates instruction for all readers and supplements myView Literacy’s instruction.
