Literacy

Goal:  To foster a love of reading and to teach children to construct significant meaning from text read aloud and independently.       

The components of a balanced literacy program are:

• Sight Word Recognition
• Word Work
• Grammar/Vocabulary
• Mini-Lessons (to model the habits of good readers and decoding/comprehension strategy use)
• Independent Reading/Guided Reading
• Literacy Work Stations
• Conferring       

***Please review the Beanie Baby strategy page for the specific decoding and comprehension strategies we will be learning*** 

     It is my hope that every child will leave my first grade classroom with a joy for reading and an ability to choose literature that is meaningful and "just right" for them!
