Alphabet knowledge includes knowledge of the letter names, knowledge of the letter sounds, knowledge of letter formation, and the ability to access this knowledge automatically. The lessons in this unit are designed to build students’ alphabet knowledge and decoding and encoding skills.
NOTE: The lesson resources for the Alphabet Unit include a slide deck to accompany each lesson plan, but some of the other resources only become available later in the unit, as students develop the skills needed to use them. For example, the Decodable Passages begin at Lesson 8.
