Kindergarten curriculum ideas
One of the kindergarten curriculum challenges that teachers face is that children enter school at very different levels. Some will not know very many of their letters and won’t be able to write their own name, while others might be able to read and write well. Trying to teach all of the children and help them progress, can be very difficult.
Our
kindergarten curriculum products are designed so that you can easily
adjust the pace that you teach each lesson depending on the needs of
your students. They are designed with activities for a whole class,
small groups, or individual students to better accommodate each child’s
needs. Each product includes progress monitoring assessments so that
you can make sure that you are teaching what the students are ready to
learn.
There are several areas of skills that are a foundation for literacy. For each area, follow the link to find more information and products.
- Letters and sounds- Learn letters very fluently; upper and lower case, quickly and accurately, recognize letters from different fonts and sizes
- Learn basic sight words- There are about 30 level one sight words that provide the foundation for reading and writing. There are about 100 sight words that build reading fluency.
- Exploring the ability to write- Develop motor skills and hand strength, gain a concept of themselves as a writer, learn to write their own name, learn to write the letters and move into writing sentences and stories.
- Be able to hear, recognize and manipulate sounds of language- Develop skills in rhyming, breaking sentences into words, breaking words into syllables, breaking syllables into onset and rime, breaking words into individual sounds or phonemes and blending them back together.
- Oral language and vocabulary- Expanding their vocabulary, understanding concepts, increasing their ability to express themselves using higher level language structure.
