We are learning to “crack the code” of the written word. First graders learn phonics, the sounds of all letters, and letter combinations. They apply that knowledge to figuring out or “decoding” words that they do not know by sight. They begin to read and write and these things make them very excited. You can expect your first grader to learn how to:
- Expand sight word vocabulary
- Recall the sequence of events in oral and written stories
- Discuss story elements such as plot, character, events, and setting
- Understand basic punctuation (capitalize first letter of a sentence, use periods and question marks, etc.)
- Identify the main idea and details in a story
- Print legibly
- Recognize single and plural forms of nouns
- Write in complete sentences
- Differentiate between fiction and nonfiction stories
- Memorize and correctly spell between 130-150 words
