Riverside Elementary Literacy Mission Belief Statement

We Believe:

• Reading instruction must be high-quality, evidence-based, and supported by the Science of Reading.
• Reading instruction must be culturally responsive and that students are more likely to master literacy skills if materials are connected to their own cultures.
• Teachers should have access to continued literacy training.
• School culture is supportive of effective instructional improvements. All students deserve equitable high-quality instruction.
• Parents should be supported as partners in the educational process. Partnerships with community agencies is necessary and beneficial.
