Students will learn to proficiently read and comprehend grade level literature and informational text, including seminal U.S. documents of historical and literary significance, at the high end of the grade level text complexity band, with scaffolding as needed. *Standard R.4 includes an asterisk to refer educators back to the Text Complexity Grade Bands and Associated Lexile Ranges in the introduction of the standards.

Standard 1.R.3:

Demonstrate mastery of age-appropriate phonics skills.

• CVC Words
  This lesson plan uses Nearpod to teach about CVC words, short vowel sounds, and beginning/middle/ending sounds.  The lesson includes learning videos, self evaluation tasks, interactive slides, and group collaboration.  Great resource for teaching and practicing CVC words!
• Digraph ch
  Students learn how to identify, write, and read the /ch/ sound in a fun and interactive way.
• LETRS Application of Concepts: General Classroom Atmosphere and Feedback
  This video is a classroom example where Sandra Knudsen from Adams Elementary models general classroom atmosphere and how to effectively give feedback.
• LETRS Application of Concepts: Teaching Beginning Decoding and Spelling 7e
  This video is a classroom example where Sandra Knudsen from Adams Elementary teaches beginning decoding, reading decodable words, phrases, sentences, or passages to apply learned skills to reading and build text-reading fluency.
• Segment Sounds and Review Words with Long "O" and Long "I"
  Review words with long "o" and long "i" sounds with NYCDOE Universal Literacy Reading Coach Vida Nazemian. Students will segment words, break words into their individual sounds, review vowel teams for long "o" and long "i", and build, blend, and read words and sentences.
• Sounding Out Activities
  In Sounding Out activities, students take a regular word, such as sat, produce the letter-sound pattern "sssaaat," and blend to produce the word sat. This is a crucial development in learning to read, bringing together skills that students have spent many weeks working on and providing the first excitement of reading unaided. Being able to sound out regular words also provides students with a self-teaching capability: they can decode unaided words they do not yet recognize on sight.
• Spelling: Y as a Vowel and a Consonant
  Determine whether is acting as a vowel or consonant
