Our final book in our Ready to Read, Kindergarten-Grade 1 series is titled, "On the Savanna." It focuses on animals that you might find on the sunny African savanna. The Teacher's Guide has a daily reading, designed to be read 4 days a week and last for 9 weeks. Students will be continuing to practice tally marks, telling time, counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, working with money, learning about science, culture, and social studies, ordinal numbers, making their own journal, as well as rich reading and Bible tie ins.
Students are focusing on four-letter words, compound words, and how vowels can combine to make diagraphs (new sounds). These are called CVVC words (consonant, vowel, vowel, consonant, such as bear) and would be appropriate for advanced Kindergarten or Grade 1, depending on the child's development and the goals of the family.
Don't miss our very first chapter book (you have it in the student books in black and white, also available as a full watercolor add on) or our brand new math practice book with daily math practice sheets if your student needs more help! Phonics practice focuses much more on mastery and fluency and should give you all the tools you need to build a strong reader! After this, it's all about practice and they will be well on their way!
What to buy? You will need to purchase the Student Workbooks, which have been split into two books so they are not so big, for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. It is designed to last 9 weeks. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil bound.
