1st Grade - English Language Arts
Avon Lake City Schools
Curriculum Framework
1st Grade ELA
Course Overview:
Students in first grade are provided an environment rich in reading and writing opportunities to help them develop skills and strategies to use in any educational setting. The focus in English Language Arts (ELA) at the first grade level is to teach our young learners to build upon the foundational skills learned in Kindergarten in order to learn to read, write, and communicate more independently with confidence. The Skills strand of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program teaches students the decoding skills needed for independent reading. The Knowledge strand of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program is designed to help students build the background knowledge and vocabulary critical to listening and reading comprehension. Through introducing, presenting, and discussing read-alouds in each domain, teachers build students’ listening and reading comprehension and oral language skills.
