Description
The three Manuals for 1st grade teach a full year’s curriculum for reading, spelling and writing. They quickly review the alphabet, get into VC/CVC words, and develop a foundation for more advanced reading and writing skills. Children will then learn all the blends, the digraphs, the three ways to make a long vowel (no, made, read), the schwa sound, and diphthongs (aw, au, ow, etc.). Your students will not only learn to read from wonderful literature (developing important oral language and critical thinking skills) but will read from controlled reading text, insuring students’ reading success.
The spelling and writing materials also teach punctuation, grammar and sentence structure. Journal writing through valuing topics is included. The Zoo-phonics® Quick Tests assess these skills as well.
