Elementary English Language Arts

Thank you for being patient as we update our Elementary ELA website.

The vision of Elementary ELA in Canyons District is founded in the Science of Reading. Students in Canyons Elementary Schools learn to communicate ideas effectively.  Instruction includes the four modalities of literacy: speaking, listening, reading and writing.  Students will develop critical thinking skills using text, rigorous tasks, discourse and writing. In grades K-3 foundational reading is quintessential and establishes the base for literacy.
