Grades K-3 Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy
#6 Research and standard aligned writing instruction
WHAT & WHY in Opinion Writing
K-2 teachers often wonder how to address the argumentative writing standard. With our youngest writers, we work on the lowest form of argument—opinion writing.
#5 Explicit Instruction in Letter Sound Relationships
Spelling City is a free online learning platform with 10 learning games and more than 40,000 spelling words. The site also offers how-to videos to help teachers integrate Spelling City into the curriculum.
#10 Collaborating with families in promoting literacy
Children raised in homes that promote family literacy grow up to be better readers and do better in school than children raised in homes where literacy is not promoted.
