In first grade we learn to love to read. We listen for sounds in words, and we learn how sounds and text are related.
During the 2024-25 school year our classroom was sponsored by UFLI's partnership with author James Patterson to provide coaching and instructional support for phonics.
We segment, blend, read, and spell. We study fiction and non-fiction texts for features that help us comprehend what we read.
Our Speech and Language Pathologist teaches lessons on articulation.
Our Occupational Therapist supports fine motor handwriting skills on our weekly spelling checkins.
