Mastering Indiana's English/Language Arts Standards
Unlike many states, Indiana developed its own ‘Indiana Academic Standards – English/Language Arts’ after withdrawing from Common Core in 2014. Brighterly’s reading program for Indianapolis students deeply respects and aligns with these distinct expectations, ensuring every lesson supports your child’s progress within the state’s educational framework.
For younger learners in Indianapolis, our approach to reading foundations is rooted in the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy, aligned with Orton-Gillingham principles. We focus on building strong phonetic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, which are crucial components outlined in Indiana’s early elementary ELA standards.
As children advance, our tutoring supports the broader English/Language Arts skills emphasized by Indiana’s standards, including close reading, analytical writing, and effective communication. Our lessons are informed by the Gradual Release of Responsibility model and Knowledge-Building Literacy, empowering students to tackle complex texts and express their ideas confidently.
