VESD's 5 Pillars of Literacy
At VESD, we build strong readers through 5 Pillars of Literacy: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Comprehension. Each pillar plays a unique role in helping students read with confidence — and each one grows through simple, everyday moments at home.
Visit our Family Literacy Hub for easy, five-minute activities families can try at the table, in the car, or on the walk to school — no special materials needed, just your voice.
Together, we're growing confident readers and lifelong learners.
