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.

Fry Sight Words Checklist, Sight Words Flash Card 3rd 100

Continuing the journey of sight word mastery, the Fry Sight Words Checklist 3rd 100 builds upon the foundational assessment introduced in the first set of 100 Fry sight words.

Key Features
Maintaining the meticulous design of the preceding checklist, this version encompasses the subsequent 100 Fry sight words. It retains the familiar layout of 9 columns per page, offering dedicated spaces for date recording, staff signatures, word tracking, and percentage calculations. This consistent format supports comprehensive and enduring assessment across multiple trials.

Focused Goal Setting
Continuing to empower educators, the Fry Sight Words Checklist 3rd 100 aids in establishing precise IEP goals that align with the newly introduced 100 Fry sight words, enabling educators to tailor learning objectives effectively.

Complementary Practice Tools
Accompanying this checklist are flashcards specifically designed for the third set of 100 Fry sight words. These flashcards serve as crucial reinforcement tools, facilitating consistent and effective practice sessions to bolster learning.

Why Learning the 3rd 100 Fry Sight Words Matters
Expanding beyond the initial 100 words, mastering this additional set significantly bolsters reading capabilities and overall language proficiency. This resource marks a pivotal step in enhancing reading fluency, bolstering confidence, and fostering continuous reading development.

Advantages of Fry Words over Dolch Words The Fry Sight Words list is organized into 10 groups of 100 words each, covering the most frequently used words in writing. Starting with the initial 300 words in early education significantly boosts reading and comprehension skills. While Fry words aren't strictly tied to specific grades, they're usually introduced in sets of 100 words to support gradual sight word recognition. Here's a general guide for introducing these sets:

• First 100 Fry Words: Typically introduced in kindergarten and first grade.
• Second 100 Fry Words: Taught in first or second grade, reinforcing foundational words.
• Third 100 Fry Words: Added in second or third grade, including more complex words.
• Fourth 100 Fry Words: Introduced in third or fourth grade, advancing vocabulary.
• Fifth 100 Fry Words: Presented in fourth or fifth grade, offering more challenging words.

The 6th to 10th sets of 100 Fry words are usually introduced later, depending on the student's mastered words.
