The charts display the skills and content for social studies, math and science for each of the grades 1-6. The colored shading indicates the grade where that topic is emphasized even though it is covered to some extent in other grades. The specific content and skills in the reading program are derived from the Spector Phonics program that is based upon the Orton-Gillingham approach to phonics instruction. This is combined with a literature based series published by Silver Burdett and Ginn (Literature Works). The math program is the Everyday Math series developed at the University of Chicago. The science content is developed in cooperation with science research partners, notably the Central Park Conservancy, Teachers College at Columbia University, and City College of C.U.N.Y. Text support comes from the Prentice Hall Life Science Series. The Social Studies content is adapted to fit the scientific themes but content is supported by Silver Burdett Ginn Social Studies Series. scope and sequence SIS First Gr.
