    Literacy
    As of the 2024 school year, Lisbon Community School has implemented two (2) new reading programs throughout the building. 
    In the K-2 classrooms, Being a Reader is our primary instructional resource. "Being a Reader follows a continuum of reading development to meet each student at their instructional point of need and take them to their next level of literacy.
    Grounded in reading research, each grade level includes either seven or eight instructional units organized around two instructional strands: Reading and Word Study.
    The strands work together to develop comprehension, fluency, decoding strategies, word analysis, spelling, vocabulary, and independent reading. Progress monitoring and other assessment tools help teachers make informed, targeted instructional decisions to ensure reading success for every child." (Center for the Collaborative Classroom, 2024)
    Wonders is an evidence-based primary instructional resource for our Grades 3-5 classrooms.  Rich in differentiated instructional and supports for struggling readers, Wonders "provides a 50/50 balance between literary and informational text to enhance content area learning, includes both classic and contemporary works in various genres that highlight a diverse range of people and experiences, focuses on social emotional learning and student empowerment with texts that model social justice and how students can impact their communities, and offers culturally responsive lessons to help students and teachers read selected texts through a culturally responsive lens and highlight a diverse range of people and experiences." (McGrawHill, 2024) 
    Science
    Lisbon's K-5 classrooms utilize Mystery Science for our instructional program.
