Kent City Schools Literacy Model and Resources
Kent's literacy resources are aligned to Scarborough's Reading Rope (right), an important graphic to express how each of the components weave together to make a strong rope of skilled reading ability. If any of the threads is weak or broken, it reduces the overall integrity of the rope; if any of the foundational components is deficient or missing, intervention is necessary for becoming a skilled reader.
