PHONEMIC AWARENESS/PHONICS
IN 1ST GRADE, IT IS EXPECTED THAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN AND APPLY PHONICS
SKILLS WHEN READING AND WRITING WORDS, SENTENCES, AND STORIES.
STUDENTS ARE DISCOURAGED FROM MEMORIZING WORDS; RESEARCH HAS SHOWN
THAT THE MORE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND HOW WORDS WORK AND PHONICS SKILLS,
THE MORE WORDS THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO SPELL AND READ.
STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO UTILIZE THE WORD WALLS INSIDE OF THEIR
NOTEBOOKS.
PRACTICING PHONEMIC SPELLING IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.
