RNESU is currently updating the Literacy Curriculum to address transferable skills and PK-12 proficiencies. A draft of this document will be available by fall, 2020 and will support future decisions regarding aligned tools/resources. One literacy initiative fully implemented is the use of the Superkids Primary Reading Program in all RNESU primary classrooms. This fully integrated program fully aligns with the current scientific understandings of reading development. The adoption of this comprehensive reading program matches our priority to nurture reading development in our youngest students:
