Teaching Intentions

Teaching Intentions are the objectives on which teachers will focus with students. Teaching intentions guide literacy instruction by naming the critical instructional elements of each system in the Cornerstone Literacy Interactive Model of Reading. Components of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and living language (or environment) are detailed through the daily literacy block that includes crafting, composing meaning, invitational groups, and reflection.
