English Language Arts - Kindergarten
Avon Lake City Schools
Curriculum Framework
Kindergarten ELA
Course Overview:
Students in Kindergarten 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 Kindergarten level is to teach our young learners the foundational skills in order to learn to read, write, and communicate effectively through explicit and systematic instruction. The Skills strand of the Core Knowledge Language Arts program teaches students the decoding skills needed for (future) 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.
