Reading is one of the most exciting things we learn in first grade! There is a special kind of magic when reading begins to "click" for a child. Please make reading a priority in your home, and it will become a lifelong gift that will unlock a world of possibilities for your first grader!

Our Read-Alouds
Our Read-Alouds
One of the most impactful things we do to promote reading success is to read aloud with children. In our class, we read aloud multiple times a day. Some books are just for fun, but some will have specific learning goals attached.
We use Fountas & Pinnell Interactive Read Aloud text sets for our reading comprehension lessons. Here is a Google Slideshow with a list of all the books we will read aloud this year.
Phonics
Phonics
Phonemic awareness (hearing and manipulating the sounds that make up letters and words) and phonics (connecting those sounds to written language) are foundational to both reading and writing. We use Heggerty Phonemic Awareness and UFLI Foundations for our phonemic awareness and phonics curricula.
