Aug. 5-8First week of SchoolUse Wonders Shared Reading and Writing each day to build comprehension (starting w/listening comp and building to reading comp), vocabulary, language, concept, and writing. Follow the Unit and Week as identified for these components.

If additional support for foundational skills is needed, the Unit and TE page number for each phonics skill is included. The phonics scope and sequence does NOT follow Wonders, so you will need to teach these "out of order" in comparison with Wonders scope and sequence.

General Word Work Guidance (not OG trained):
Use Word Work Instructional Routines (Instructional Routines Handbook)
a. Phonics: Sound-Spelling Card Routine, Building Words Routine, Sound-by-Sound Blending Routine, Reading Decodables Routine
b. Handwriting: Explicit Letter Formation Instruction using HW Guide & lined paper
c. HFW - Use 1st Grade HFW List (Column F) using the Read/Spell/Write Routine
d. Spelling - Use dictation list to assess skill mastery
Writing Components:
a. Grammar, Usage, & Mechanics
b. Write to Multiple Sources: Graphic organizers, sequencing chart, venn diagram, KWL chart, lists, notes, etc.; Write about the text:
c. Genre Writing (Narrative)
d. Research and Inquiry: Science & Social Studies
