Storytown is the basal reading series that we use in first grade. The phonics and comprehension skill sequence will be taught through this series.

Shared reading is the time during the day when we teach comprehension skills and review phonics skills through children’s literature. The children will be bringing a shared reading book home once a week. Please read the book with your child.

We will have a Guided Reading lesson every Monday through Thursday. This reading approach allows students to read on their instructional level. It also avoids frustration and promotes good reading habits and a love for reading.

The second section (yellow) is Math. Once again, when a star is placed in front of a skill, please practice that skill with your child. If I provide a worksheet to practice the skill it will be placed in the back pocket of the folder. .

The third section (green) is Shared Reading. When the book title is listed please read it with your child. These books may be read by the parent, the child or both.

All first grade classes will be administered the same report card assessments in all subjects.

First grade students will receive a report card every nine weeks. The report is a checklist of skills based on the PA state standards

that we have covered during that marking period. Students with an 80% or below in any subject area will be given

an interim report that must be signed by a parent and returned to school.

All tests with a score of 80% or lower will also require a parent signature.

Please pay close attention to the papers that are sent home with your child.

These are the best evidence that you can receive that allows you to see the areas where your child may be struggling. This also shows you the skills that you can be reinforcing at home.
