TCS Vision for Literacy

Tipton County students will become critical readers, writers and thinkers who are self-directed in their learning.

Tipton County teachers will facilitate student-directed learning and develop strong readers by effectively implementing a high quality literacy curriculum that aligns to the science of reading:

1. Explicit instruction of phonics and foundational skills in K-2

    2. High quality texts that systematically build background knowledge

    3. A deep focus on textual evidence and the comprehension of texts’ key ideas and details
