Welcome to First Grade. Below you will find information about our Language Arts program. We look forward to having a great year!

OUR LANGUAGE ARTS PROGRAM GOALS
To become good readers and writers, children need a balanced literacy program. This program includes:
  • Reading aloud to children
  • Shared reading
  • Guided reading
  • Paired reading
  • Independent reading
  • Exploring language (phonics, grammar, spelling)
  • Writing

At Wekiva we have worked hard to incorporate guided reading into our classrooms. Guiding Reading enables a teacher to read a book with a small group for specific purposes. We have a large selection of books in our guided reading room that we check out for our classrooms. When we are done with the lesson on a specific title, the children are able to take these books home to reread and share. We also use other sources for our lessons such as Literacy Place by Scholastic. This reading series has excellent examples of children's literature and related activities.
