Teaching reading and writing is a passion! It is my intention to set your child on a positive path to being a life long reader and writer!
We read in large groups, in small groups, with our teacher, with partners, and independently. We use the Wonders reading program for our reading, phonics, spelling, and language work.
Throughout first grade, we develop strong decoding and comprehension skills. We learn to become spellers, not just for a test, but for a lifetime.
We learn that writers make plans. We learn how to develop our ideas with strong word choices and strong sentences. We learn to organize these sentences and to use conventions to support our readers.
Ultimately, we learn that reading and writing is an adventure!
