This product can be used with students as an informal/formal adapted assessment. Students will be required to identify the pre-primer, primer, 1st grade,2nd grade, and/or 3rd grade Dolch sight words. If students begin at the pre-primer level and are able to identify a specific amount of each section of sight words, they are going to be ranked as independent, instructional, or frustration when identifying those sight words. Students are then provided with a sentence or brief comprehension passage for each Dolch sight word list. The questions and short passages have been adapted and shortened compared to other reading assessments so baseline data can be collected, especially with those students are struggling. This will help gauge where students need the most support in terms of identifying sight words, reading simple sentences/passages, and answering comprehension questions that relate with what is read.

A complete and differentiated phonics and grammar curriculum geared toward 1st-3rd grade!

Here's a breakdown of the curriculum:

Phonics:

• Weeks 1-33: Spelling Based on Phonics Sounds

  • Each week focuses on a specific phonics sound. The scope and sequence of the phonics sounds being taught are sequential and build on prior knowledge. Students engage in spelling activities related to the chosen sound.

• Four Weekly Phonics Work

  • Students have four different phonics exercises each week. These exercises are designed to reinforce the targeted phonics sound.

• Three Differentiated Spelling Groups

  • Groups are categorized as Sun (below grade level), Clouds (at grade level), and Moons (above grade level). Each group corresponds to a different level of difficulty. This allows for tailored instruction to meet individual student needs.

Grammar:

• Weeks 1-33: Grammar Based on Common Core Standards

  • Each week focuses on a specific grammar concept aligned with Common Core standards for 1st to 3rd grade.

• Four Daily Edits

  • Students work on four different daily editing exercises. These exercises are tied to the weekly grammar focus.

• Spiraling of Previously Taught Grammar Standards

  • Regular review and reinforcement of previously taught grammar concepts. This ensures a cumulative understanding of grammar throughout the school year.

Overall Structure:

• This curriculum spans a full school year, providing a systematic approach to phonics and grammar instruction.
• Differentiation is a key element, with three levels of spelling groups and tailored grammar activities. This helps address the diverse needs of students.
• The curriculum aligns with Common Core standards, ensuring that students are exposed to and master grade-appropriate language skills.

Suggestions for Implementation:

1. Regular Assessments: Include regular assessments to gauge student progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Spelling lists are included and it is suggested a weekly spelling assessment given to gauge understanding of the phonics skill.
2. Parental Involvement: Communicate the curriculum objectives to parents and encourage their involvement in supporting their child's learning at home.

By incorporating these elements, your phonics and grammar curriculum can provide a robust and engaging learning experience for 1st to 3rd-grade students.

French Decodable activities that align with the Science of Reading in the K-2 French classroom. Students work on their phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, decoding and encoding skills and as they master the target sound.

Make a few copies of each card and insert into clear pockets to create a quick and easy reading centre; arrange a table with four copies to create a quiet reading group; use one-on-one with your students to assess reading levels, to gain insights to their decoding skills, encoding skills, and to inform your upcoming lesson plans. Students use whiteboard markers to sound out each sound in the word, each syllable, or each word in the sentence. What a great way to build confidence! Whatever way you choose to use this resource, I am so grateful that you have given this item a try!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple sentence strips to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

Science of Reading:

These cards are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven sentence strips on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
