We believe that all students with disabilities are literacy learners. they have the right to:
*Opportunities to successfully engage in reading and writing activities in language and print rich envirnonments.
*Effective literacy instruction throughout their school lives from
teachers and other service providers who are knowledgeable about and
skilled in literacy instruction methods and principles.
*Access to varied models of print at all levels that are meaningful and appropriate.
*An interactive learning community that maintains high expectations for literacy learning
Bridge View School accomplishes this by using Guided Reading during Book Club and Read a Louds. We provide many opportunities for Self-Selected Reading
in our growing school library, traveling book mobile, living books on computer cart and classroom libraries.
Throughout the school day students are Working With Words and Symbols in cooking, music therapy, communication group, morning meetings, explore and learn and numerous other language activities.
Bridge View is proud of its student Written
newspaper. Students are given assistive technology to conduct
interviews, taste tests and generate articles for their monthly
newsletter.
