To maximize limited instructional time while enhancing literacy skills and content knowledge, Rockford Public Schools took an innovative approach when building an integrated literacy curriculum that combined four content areas: language arts, science, social science and health.

However, during a recent three-year review, Rockford’s K-5 Curriculum Leadership Teams (CLTs) determined the resources being used did not effectively align to the Integrated Literacy Curriculum.
