Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) is phasing elementary students, kindergarten-third grade, back to the classroom. Due to COVID-19, students have experienced a virtual learning environment since last school year. Identifying learning loss or gaps for students is crucial for academic growth and success. Students complete the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) to measure knowledge of various literacy fundamentals: alphabet recognition, phonological awareness, concept of words, and knowledge of letter sounds and spelling. In addition, students complete the Virginia Kindergarten Readiness Program (VKRP) and division fall formatives to measure mathematical thinking. The results of these assessments identify any learning loss or gaps for students. To improve and provide a high-quality instructional experience, students would receive targeted support from a VBCPS evening tutor. These planning documents are intended to support tutors in developing effective and targeted small group instruction for students.
This guidance document helps teachers understand the why, as well as the concrete what and how, of the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block: the overall structure, what students do during Whole Group instruction and during differentiated Small Group instruction and Independent work,connection to the grade level reading and language standards, assessments, how the K-2 Skills Block supports and complements the work from the K-2 Language Arts Curriculum (Module Lessons and Labs), what a day in the Skills Block looks like, and Frequently Asked Questions.
