Language Arts

At Woodbridge Public Schools, we recognize language as an essential tool for learning across all subject areas.  The Woodbridge ELA curriculum emphasizes the application of literacy skills  while incorporating integration of various content areas including science, social studies, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Each curricular unit is designed to build knowledge and engagement through reading, listening, and discussing a range of complex texts.

As students develop their language skills, they learn to think critically, ask insightful questions, communicate effectively, understand themselves and others, appreciate literature, and navigate an increasingly diverse and complex world. As a result, learning and using language becomes an inseparable, lifelong process.

The Common Core State Standards provide the foundation for Reading/English Language Arts instruction, focusing on key areas such as reading high-quality literature and informational texts, developing foundational reading skills, writing, speaking and listening, and language development. The Woodbridge Public Schools ELA curriculum is intentionally designed to align with these standards, ensuring a comprehensive and cohesive approach to literacy instruction.
