Welcome to our Level 1 Reading Adventures with Scholastic Hello Readers! This dynamic and engaging course is designed to propel early readers on a literary journey filled with excitement and discovery. Each week, students will focus on a new Scholastic Hello Reader Level 1 book, carefully selected to align with their reading proficiency. The course places a strong emphasis on building a robust foundation in literacy through targeted vocabulary acquisition, phonics skill development, and regular reading practice. Our young learners will be immersed in an interactive and supportive environment, where they not only master essential phonics skills but also expand their vocabulary by exploring diverse themes within the Hello Reader series. Through a variety of activities, students will hone their reading abilities, gaining confidence and fluency as they progress through captivating stories. Join us in this ongoing adventure where the joy of reading meets the thrill of exploration in the world of Scholastic Hello Readers Level 1 books.

The Level 1 books are approximately Kindergarten to First Grade Level. (Guided Reading Level: C-J; Lexile Level: 100L-400L). The Level 1 Hello Readers contain simple words and short sentences for new readers. Learners will encounter frequently used words (sight words) and practice sounding out simple sentences. We will also focus on phonics, grammar, language arts, literacy skills and writing skills. (This class ESL-friendly!)
