US Grade Kindergarten - 2
In this two-week refresher course, students will be introduced to or review first grade reading skills. The first week will focus on fiction reading skills and the second week will focus on non-fiction reading skills. On the final day, we will use the skills we've practiced over the past two weeks to compare a fiction and non-fiction text. Each lesson will begin with an SEL check-in and progress into an introduction or review of the skill of the day. We will then practice the skill as we read a winter-themed text together.
