ELAR Updates and Reminders
Our curriculum writers spent a day developing model lessons for the Phonological Awareness component of the Pre-K Shared Reading Lesson Plan Cycle. The objectives for the day were:
- to deepen their understanding of the TX Pre-K phonological awareness standards
- to create mentor lessons that were aligned with and reflected the depth of each standard.
Thank you to curriculum writers Laine, Natalie, and Courtney--what a fantastic resource you worked to develop to use in planning!
III.B.4 Child combines syllables into words.
This is a sample of one of the model lessons that our curriculum writers created. Each model lesson includes:
- Resources to build teacher background knowledge of the concept prior to planning and teaching lessons
- ELL support
- Additional lessons that can be incorporated into morning message, writing, learning centers, or other areas of the day.
- Lessons to use during days 3-4 of the Shared Reading Lesson Plan Cycle with complete description of how to implement
- References to resources and materials to be used with the lesson
