At Ashland Elementary School, our goal in language arts is to increase students’ passion for reading. We foster a love of reading and writing through authentic literacy experiences for each student and strive to develop independent readers who can think critically.
Reading specialists work with students, teachers, and families to help students achieve literacy goals and discover the joy of reading and writing. In addition to working with small groups of students, they also collaborate with teachers and provide resources to support and enrich literacy instruction in the classroom. Our reading specialists also provide supplementary instruction that best meets the needs of the students.
Please view our division site for more information on our federal programs or to learn more about literacy in HCPS.
