Product description
From the author
This language arts-based resource is designed for grade 1. Basic reading skills are developed through the use of this resource. High-interest stories are presented in a way that encourages students to start reading. Students learn what they have read through literal and inferential comprehension. The teacher notes introduce readiness skills and recommend reading the directions aloud. Readability is discussed for the wider series; no individual DRP measurement is supplied for every activity here. Aligned to the International Reading Association and National Council of Teachers of English Standards 1 and 3.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students recognize and name letters of the alphabet by tracing and identifying hidden letter shapes.
Students complete words and sentences using picture and word-bank context clues.
Students answer inferential comprehension questions about a short story using key clue details.
Teaching tips
Read the directions for each activity aloud to students throughout Book 1, as the teacher notes recommend (page 3).
Complete the lessons in the order they appear; the skills build in sequence toward reading-comprehension readiness (page 3).
For the earliest pages, such as the friend-drawing page, have children dictate their answers for you to write, since these activities are designed for pre-writers (page 5).
