The myView Literacy curriculum is divided into five units, with each unit taking place over six weeks. The Teacher’s Edition and Small Group Professional Development Guide provide extensive information about all components of the unit and specific details for each lesson component. Suggested time frames and ranges for each component of a lesson are provided on the Unit and Weekly Planning pages. Time is built into the schedule each day for whole-class instruction, small-group instruction, independent practice, collaborative group work, and reflection.
The materials in myView Literacy are well-designed with pacing appropriate to fit an English Language Arts block. The pacing of daily lessons in myView Literacy is based on the best practice of 120-180 minutes per day of reading/writing instruction across Grades K-5. In IWCS, our goal is 120 minutes or 2 hours. Research recommends the use of an uninterrupted, 90-minute block as the foundation for a strong early literacy program, therefore the pacing allows for increased time on task in Grades K-5.
Grades K-5 Daily Times
Total Time for Reading*: 60 minutes
Total Time for Writing*: 30 minutes
Total Time for Small Group: 30 minutes
Total of 120 min.
We are working on a specific breakdown of what that look likes to match the weekly planning example below. Stay tuned!
