Skills 8

The big picture: Students becoming fluent independent readers, the unit begins with chaining to decoding through a reader, tricky and HF words, finishing with independent reading

The Arc: Its builds on students skills: sound correspondents, it covers digraphs, tricky words, with a review of rhyming words

Lessons spiral:

-letter sounds and names (warm up)

-rhyming word review

-story comprehension (demonstration story reading)

-oral reading decodable (small group and partner reading)

Big picture is students will grapple with longer text, new sounds and more complex comp questions.

The arc of learning in this unit is being able to chunk the text, reinforce the sounds while also providing small group instruction to further master skills.

Working with consonant spellings and alternatives as well as consonant sounds. Students will need to understand that now the print they are seeing will correlate to one sound when reading.

I Internalize Kindergarten Amplify Skills 7. In this unit students will b learning abut digraphs and clusters. The will transition from identifying one letter that makes one sound to 2 or more letter make up one sound. There must be clarity on the difference between a consonant cluster and digraphs. However, students do not need a drill and kill with know and understanding the term "digraph". Big picture would be for teachers to be intentional on how they introduce and identify digraphs and provided student multiple at bats and visual support when reading them in the Reading and the Big Book. Teachers should support learning of digraphs by circle the digraph in each work that they are in. They should be referred to as Letter Teams. The digraphs that are taught in this unit are: /ch/, /sh/, /th/(voiced), /th/(unvoiced), /qu/, and /ng/.

KIPP Connect Primary, K-2 ELA

1. Students are grappling with new spelling alternatives.

2. They are continuing to engage with the Skills Readers to build their reading fluency and accuracy.

Students are building on their understanding of tricky spellings and how to identify them

The TEKS are assessed at the end of the unit by reading individual words and through story reading

KG Skills Unit 7

This unit focuses on Diagraphs and Clusters. Students have been used to seeing 1 letter equaling 1 sound, and now they are seeing 2 letters make 1 sound. Students are still focusing on consonant sounds, and are beginning to focus on Decodable Readers. Students are also learning a multitude of Sight Words that they will see in Decodable Readers.

1st grade skills Unit 5

Students will be learning spelling alternatives based on sounds (code) that have been previously taught

Building on sounds that have already been taught

Knowing the sounds and when to add double the letter.

What is the “Big Picture” of this unit? What is the arc of learning of this unit? How do the tasks and skills build upon each other? How are the essential TEKS introduced, spiraled, and assessed throughout the unit?

The Unit spelling alternatives using s, z, m, n, ng, and w. There is large amount of review within the unit. KIPPster will also implement writing using the spelling alternatives.

Within Unit 6, there is little new code knowledge taught in the is unit. Writing, grammar and more live with the lessons. Supports gaps

We must be clear on the difference between consonant clusters and digraphs.

We will not teach the term digraphs to students

Digraphs should be referred to as Letter Teams

ch sh th (unvoiced) th (voiced) qu ng

As students read they ne

ed to be able to separate letters into group of one or two and match each groups to with the appropriate sound.

Digraphs are in bold print on activity pages, readers and big books

We writing digraphs circle them to identify letter teams

Warm- ups: 1st half segment consonant clusters

2nd half letter sound correspondence

Decodable: Seth Begins lesson 9 point out digraphs and unfamiliar content

Lesson 9 :  Only teacher reads- follow guidance of the lesson

1st read without stopping 2nd read- point the first letter in digraph and capital letters.

Students need to answer in complete sentences

Writing- should not be undirected writing assignments (copying words, phrasing or sentences, dictation of decodable words)

HFW: 53 words have been introduced 11 tricky words by now  after 3 new tricky words (down, of , out)  67 words

KG Unit 8

1. This Unit is focusing on KG students becoming more independent readers. During the Reading section in the Skills lesson, the focus moves from decoding individual words in isolation and now with reading full sentences. Students will also read Readers that are not fully decodable (include tricky words).

2. Warm-ups focus on letter sound correspondence with digraphs and short vowel discrimination. Basic code and tricky words are reinforced in student practice with the Readers.
