1 Grade K Reading, Unit 3 of 6 Changes All Around Us Overview Overall days: 30 (1 day = 110 minutes) The number of days is a guide for pacing to ensure that all the curriculum units for the year are implemented. Correlates with writing units 6 and 7 Phonological/ Phonemic Awareness Phonics, Spelling, Word Identification Vocabulary Comprehension Foundational Skills Students will identify beginning/final sounds in spoken words, and pictures; /b/, /n/, /r/, /d/, /k/, /f/, and /o/. Students will discriminate the correct initial/medial/final sound in words and pictures; /b,/n/,/r/,/d/,/k/,/f/, and /o/. Students will blend, segment and substitute three phonemes to create and recode CVC words Students will recognize the upper and lower case letters Nn, Bb, Ii, Rr, Dd, Kk, Ff, Oo. Students will match the following phonemes: /n/,/r/,/d/,/o/ with their graphemes. Students will apply their knowledge of letter sounds and correspondence by writing words with /n/, /b/, /i/, /r/,/d/, /k/,/f/, and /o/. Students will read, spell and write high-frequency words: me, with, she, see, look, they, you, and of. Students will demonstrate the ability to blend by orally combining sounds using the soundby-sound blending routine during whole group instruction. Students will write uppercase letters I,B,N,D,R,K,O,F, and lowercase letters i,b,n,d,r,k,o,f, using the proper left to right and top to bottom progression and proper spacing. Higher Order Concepts, Skill, & Strategies Students will learn sophisticated vocabulary to develop their oral language. Students will learn vocabulary to support their understanding of text they listen to and read. Students will learn unfamiliar words, color words, action words, position words, words for feelings, words for opposites, and words for textures. Students will apply the following comprehension skills to support their understanding of text they listen to and read: compare and contrast, plot, cause and effect, draw conclusions and main idea. Students will apply the following comprehension strategies to support their understanding of text they listen to and read: previewing, predicting, and retelling. Reading Selections Students will listen to and read the following types of text: Nonfiction, Animal Fantasy, Historical Fiction and Classic Fable. Essential questions students should be able to answer by end of unit Unit Question: How do changes affect us? Weekly questions: Week 1: How does a panda change in its first year of life? Week 2: What new things can you do as you get older? Week 3: How is life today different from life hundreds of years ago? Week 4: What happens when animals change? Week 5: How are things we use different from things used long ago? Week 6: What causes us to change the way we feel? D-i
