Strong, Smart, & Bold Literacy
Girls Inc. Literacy addresses the literacy-based needs of girls in grades K-3 by using a model that involves working closely with schools to align programming with school-day learning. This approach allows for Girls Inc. to create quality, outcomes-based literacy programming that is grounded in the Girls Inc. approach to programming, which includes interactive, hands-on activities. Literacy staff also assess each individual girl’s skills to monitor her progress and target areas where she needs extra support.
This program focuses on the literacy components, such as vocabulary development, phonics and spelling, integrating writing, fluency, reading comprehension, implementing high-quality read-alouds, and supporting English Language Learners.
