We will be using the science of reading to strengthen and build students' reading skills. The "Science of Reading" typically focuses on the research-based principles and practices that underpin are the foundation blocks for reading.

The following goals are aligned with common objectives aimed at fostering reading proficiency and overall literacy skills:

Reading Fluency: Students should be able to read with accuracy, appropriate rate, expression, and understanding. They should develop the ability to read smoothly and with confidence across a variety of texts.

Reading Comprehension: Students should be able to understand and interpret various types of texts, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and informational materials. They should be able to analyze texts, identify main ideas, make inferences, and draw conclusions.

Vocabulary Development: Students should expand their vocabulary knowledge by learning new words and understanding their meanings in different contexts. They should be able to use context clues and word analysis skills to determine word meanings.

Phonemic Awareness and Phonics: Students should develop an understanding of the sound structure of language and the relationship between sounds and letters. They should be able to decode unfamiliar words using phonics knowledge and apply spelling patterns and rules.

Word Recognition: Students should be able to recognize and read high-frequency words automatically, as well as apply decoding strategies to read unfamiliar words. They should develop sight word recognition and the ability to quickly recognize words in context.

Critical Thinking Skills: Students should develop critical thinking skills by engaging with texts, asking questions, making connections, and evaluating information. They should learn to think critically about author's purpose, point of view, and arguments presented in texts.

Writing Skills: Students should develop writing skills across different genres and purposes. They should learn to express themselves clearly and coherently, use appropriate language and conventions, and revise and edit their writing for clarity and effectiveness.

Literacy Across Content Areas: Students should be able to apply literacy skills in various content areas, including science, social studies, mathematics, and the arts. They should be able to read and comprehend disciplinary texts, communicate ideas effectively, and use literacy skills to engage with content-specific concepts.

Digital Literacy: Students should develop digital literacy skills to navigate online resources, critically evaluate digital information, and use technology tools for reading, research, and communication.

Lifelong Learning Habits: Students should develop a love for reading and a habit of lifelong learning. They should become independent, self-directed learners who seek out information, engage with texts for pleasure and learning, and continue to develop their literacy skills beyond the classroom.

These goals reflect a comprehensive approach to literacy education that encompasses foundational skills, critical thinking, communication, and lifelong learning habits. If "UFLI" represents a specific program or initiative with its own set of goals, they would likely align with these broader objectives aimed at fostering students' literacy development and success.
