Reading & Literacy

ACCS has completely revamped its Reading and Literacy program to ensure full alignment with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. The updated curriculum follows the New Jersey Curriculum Frameworks in a structured, sequential manner. For the 2024-2025 school year, K-5th grade scholars will be using the McGraw Hill Wonders Program, based on the Science of Reading, while 6th-8th grade students will engage with McGraw Hill StudySync. Both programs cover a variety of reading and writing genres, providing a well-balanced literacy experience. Additionally, the Fountas and Pinnell program has been integrated to offer guided reading and small group instruction.

Students in K-2nd grade use the Wilson Fundations program to strengthen phonemic awareness, a critical component in building a strong literacy foundation.

In keeping with the school’s mission to empower students through the development of essential academic skills, the Reading and Literacy program is interwoven across all subject areas.
