[edit] District overview
The District's four elementary schools offer students in grades K-4 a comprehensive educational program emphasizing process instruction techniques, cooperative learning, and integration of subject content areas. The K-2 program uses a Balanced Literacy approach to reading while math and science are taught through hands-on experiences. In heterogeneous classes, these students also study social studies and use computers. The 3-5 program includes literature-based reading, process writing, hands-on math and science, social studies and computers, all taught in heterogeneous classes. Teachers develop themes to integrate content areas wherever possible. Related arts instruction includes art, music, computer education, library skills, physical education, health and family life and world languages.
The Reading-Fleming Intermediate School houses the district's fifth and sixth grade population.
For grades 7-8, J.P. Case Middle School is organized as a house plan with academic teams at each grade level. This supports the small school atmosphere while providing various course options. Each team of students is taught the academic subjects by a corresponding team of teachers who meet regularly to monitor student progress and plan instructional programs. Academic subjects include reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies. An expanded related arts curriculum includes instruction in world languages, home economics and material processing, as well as art, music, computer education, library skills, physical education, and health and family life.
