ELA > Grade T-1 > Unit 1

Unit Description

This is the first unit of the Transitional First Grade ELA curriculum. In this unit, the students will develop an awareness of sounds through auditory discrimination and memory activities, recognize rhyming words, follow directions, and develop phonemic awareness through a multi-sensory teaching approach. Students will realize that listening and speaking provide a sense of words and sentences, and true reading involves understanding. This understanding will come from their daily experience(s) with songs, poems, stories, and a variety of other texts.
