Description

In Grade 1, students grow from beginning decoders into confident early readers and writers. Listening and speaking stay central: children give short oral presentations and discuss read-alouds of fiction, nonfiction and drama. They master many more letter-sound spellings, reach about 50 words per minute in decodable text, and write stories, explanations and opinions. Literature widens to folktales from around the world, Aesop's fables and a first experience of drama.
