General Curriculum Overview:

READ is a comprehensive reading and language arts program. This pack

includes a single week from the 36-week curriculum. Using the suggested
outline below, READ can be taught over a four day week, with a fifth day
of review. During this week, students will work on a single word family, 2-
3 sight words, writing prompts, and interactive grammar. At the start of
each week there will be full-color reference charts you can display and use
for introducing students to the new reading concepts for the week. If
desired, you can print the charts separately onto cardstock paper for
durability.

Suggested Materials:

Beyond basic classroom supplies, you’ll need the following items:

• Composition notebook for the Interactive Grammar Notebook.

• Small bag or storage container for Review Flashcards

I Can Rhyme Chart

Each week you’ll be introducing children to a new word family or
blend. Start off the week with this colorful chart. Talk with students
about the different words they can make with this special word family
and try to think of other rhyming words together. Display the chart
somewhere in the classroom for easy reference.

Letter Sound Chart

Sound out each letter individually, and then blend them together as you
move your finger across the letters and arrows. Encourage students to
keep the sound going until they reach the end of the arrow, changing
and blending sounds when their finger crosses over new letters.

Handwriting Worksheet
This is a simple worksheet for students to practice writing their new
words. Each handwriting page features a place for children to write
their name and the written word family at the top. Pictures and their
corresponding words are shown. Students have the opportunity to
trace and then write the words on their own, coloring the star when
they’ve done their best work.

Blank Word Family Template

These blank word family templates are very versatile and can be filled
in a variety of ways: Playdough mats, Stickers, Painting, Dot Markers,
Fingerprints, Cut & Paste Collage (a words, m words) ....etc.

Flashcards
Each week students will learn two or three new sight words. Introduce
children to these new words and use the sight word cards to begin
building small sentences. Students can cut and store cards for later
use.
 TUESDAY
Sound it Out
Students build on the previous day’s activities by starting off the day
reviewing each letter sound and blending them into words. Students
match each word to the corresponding picture. The second part of this
worksheet provides students the opportunity to deconstruct words into
beginning, middle and ending sounds, circling each letter as they go.
Encourage students to say these sounds out loud as they work.

Interactive Notebook Activity

On Tuesdays and Thursdays children begin to build and add to their
interactive notebook. Students cut out and assemble the minibook and
add it to their folder. Each minibook contains new information covering
key Language Arts standards for Kindergarten.

Write & Find

This is a simple spelling activity for students to work on listening for
individual letter sounds as they write. After writing each word, children
find the words in the word search below. Words are presented
horizontally, diagonally, vertically, and backwards.

Spinner Winner
This worksheet doubles as handwriting practice and a fun
game! Using a paperclip spinner, students write each word they land
on, first one to the bottom is the winner!

Daily Sight Word Work

Review sight words with yesterday’s word cards. Students then
practice writing their sight words with these simple activity
pages. Each page features dot painting and a dot-to-dot for children to
solve. Smaller words leave room for writing practice and extra
activities.
 WEDNESDAY

Read & Respond

Students work on key reading and comprehension skills with this
simple worksheet. Instruct students to put their finger on the dot
and read each word. After reading children respond by answering
questions or completing a writing activity.

Making Words w/Letter Tiles

Students build words by cutting out the letter tiles and pasting them
to the correct word mat. If you have them, these cards will work
with plastic letter tiles as well.

Nonsense Words
Students build words by choosing a beginning letter and pairing it
with their word family. After saying the sounds out loud, students
must decided it they created a real word or a nonsense word, and
write it on the corresponding list.

Find & Color Word Family

Students find the words that have the same ending sound and
color them. Students then write three of the words they found.

Sight Word Maze

A fun activity for students to catch all of the sight words as they
work their way through the maze. Encourage students to read the
words aloud as they find them, counting up how many they found.
 THURSDAY

Story Reader
Students put their reading skills to the test with this end of the week
comic book style story reader. The goal is for students to read this
story three times on their own. If your student is struggling with this
reader, take breaks and review or even try to finish is over the
weekend.

Guided Writing
Each week students will complete a simple story writing
prompt. Students are encouraged to use newly acquired words, as
well as practice language and grammar skills. Each writing prompt
provides children with the necessary framework to complete the
activity with little help from a teacher. Upon completion, children
are encouraged to cut out their writing samples and paste them into
their interactive notebook. Writing samples can be read during
review week and vocabulary can be used as a reference for future
assignments.

Interactive Notebook
On Thursday students continue to build and add to their interactive
notebook. Students cut out and assemble the mini-books, then
paste them into the next available page. Each mini-book contains
new information covering key language arts standards for
kindergarten.

Daily Sight Word Work

Review sight words with yesterday’s word cards. Students then
practice writing their sight words with these simple activity pages.
First, spell the word aloud, then write it two times on the lines.
Next, count the letters, syllables, vowels and consonants. Then,
say your word aloud and find a word that rhymes with your word.
Write your word backwards to see if it spells a silly word. Finally,
use stickers, stamps, playdough, or crayons to fill in the letters of
your word.

End of the Week Crown

Students cut and paste the pictures to match the words. Then,
students cut and staple to create their own word family crown to
wear!
