This session presents a graduate research project focused on integrating Computer Science (CS) instruction into the Into Reading literacy curriculum used in K–5 classrooms. Conducted in a small, rural Maine school district, the project involved developing a series of integrated units that align CS concepts and standards with the themes, texts, and timelines of the Into Reading program. The session will detail the process of designing these units, including curriculum analysis, teacher collaboration, and iterative development based on educator feedback. Findings highlight both the opportunities and challenges of cross-curricular integration in elementary education, as well as insights into the kinds of support teachers may need to implement CS instruction effectively within a literacy framework.
