First Grade ChisholmWelcome to First Grade! The main focus for first grade is to make each student a successful reader. Throughout the year students will receive instruction in phonics, reading comprehension and fluency as well as writing, math and science. More specifically, children will blend sounds to form words; they will segment words into individual sounds and manipulate individual sounds to create new words. Students will apply their letter-sound knowledge learned in kindergarten to read grade level text quickly and with accuracy. They will practice the use of inventive spelling, while beginning to understand that there is a correct way to spell words. They will use simple punctuation marks and correct capitalization and write complete sentences. A variety of teaching strategies and approaches will be used to provide all students with an opportunity to become active and self-directed learners.
