1st Grade

Reading Unit

"In unit 1 of the first-grade units, Lucy and her coauthors invite teachers to establish ability-based partnerships that thrive on the social power of peer-based reading. Across the next unit, children study comprehension, word solving, vocabulary, and fluency in nonfiction. Unit 3 focuses on phonics to set readers up for complex texts. Finally, the last unit spotlights skills that are foundational to literal and inferential comprehension."

Writing Unit

"These units are written for first graders who have just begun tapping into their powers as readers and writers. Children begin in the first unit by exploring narrative writing, turning everyday events into well-structured stories. In Unit 2, kids write “how-to-teach” nonfiction texts, followed by Unit 3, in which they write persuasive reviews. In the final unit, children will grow from writing scenes to writing an entire fiction series."
