Bank Street views reading and writing development as intimately
linked to spoken-language development, and mutually reinforcing.
In keeping with Bank Street’s focus on the “whole” child,
as well as its recognition of the individual needs of each
child, no one approach to teaching reading and writing is
considered best for everyone. Rather, it is understood that
reading and writing are complex processes involving the integration
of a variety of strategies and skills.
Whatever the approach, the goal remains constant: to develop
readers who read for pleasure and information, and writers
who write to communicate meaning and make sense of their world.
