1 st Grade<br />

Beginning Reader Stage of Reading:<br />

Beginning readers have learned enough about the structure of books, stories, and the <strong>English</strong> language to<br />

be able to pick up unfamiliar picture books and get meaning from them with significant guidance. They are<br />

building their store of sight words and their knowledge of the relationships between letters and sounds,<br />

and they are able to use their knowledge in reading easy books.<br />

Books appropriate for students in this stage provide detail, include illustrations that embellish but do not<br />

provide direct clues to the textual message, and utilize more complex and varied sentence patterns.<br />

Stages of Writing:<br />

Refer to ASPIRE (appendix B).<br />

Genre – folk tales – cumulative tales and beast tales, concept books, poetry, fiction, nonfiction.<br />
