WORD OF THE WEEK INITIATIVE!

Vocabulary is a foundational skill for improved literacy in all areas. Academic vocabulary is at the core of the Common Core and must be taught explicitly in order for our students to build the vocabulary necessary for accessing complex texts at all grade levels. Our overarching goal for implementing the "Word of the Week" in RSU 23 is for all of our students, staffs and community members to work collectively in building vocabulary to become proficient 21st Century learners, workers and citizens.
