This sequence guides Pre-K students from identifying action words (verbs) in illustrations to constructing simple two-word sentences. Using a 'detective' theme, students explore movement through storytelling, matching games, and creative expression.
This Pre-K sequence focuses on developing oral retelling and sequencing skills using the transition words 'first,' 'next,' and 'last.' Students engage in hands-on activities, dramatic play, and collaborative games to master the order of events in simple narratives.
A Pre-K sequence introducing narrative structure (beginning, middle, end) through daily routines, familiar stories, and interactive sorting activities. students learn to identify key story parts and arrange events in chronological order.
A foundational Pre-K ELA sequence that teaches students to identify character motivations (wants) and the resulting actions. Through interactive play, visual organizers, and creative drama, children learn why characters move through stories.
A comprehensive Pre-K sequence focused on identifying main characters, interpreting their facial expressions and body language, and developing vocabulary for personality traits. Students use detective-themed visual cues to understand character emotions and internal traits through picture books and interactive activities.
A Pre-K sequence introducing characters and settings through dramatic play, sensory exploration, and interactive sorting. Students learn to identify 'who' and 'where' in stories using puppets, mirrors, and sensory bins.
A foundational Pre-K sequence focused on understanding the chronological order of stories (Beginning, Middle, and End) through familiar routines, character introductions, problem-solving, and visual retelling projects.
A project-based sequence where Pre-K students become authors by creating their own decodable mini-books. Students learn to use phonetic knowledge to name characters, illustrate actions, and write simple captions, culminating in an Author's Chair celebration.
A Kindergarten sequence focused on developing fine motor skills through a multi-sensory approach, moving from tactile play to precision pencil-and-paper tasks. Students progress through sensory writing, gross motor air-tracing, path navigation, and dot-connecting to master the fundamental strokes of handwriting.
A Pre-K sequence focused on reading comprehension through informational texts about transportation. Students learn to categorize vehicles by land, water, and air while developing print awareness, vocabulary, and comparative language skills.
A culminating Pre-K sequence where students become 'Community Reporters,' mastering the six question words (Who, What, Where, When, Why, How) through role-play, peer interviews, and a guest inquiry project to learn about their world.
A foundational Pre-K sequence introducing the concepts of beginning, middle, and end through interactive read-alongs. Students learn to identify narrative structure, spot story problems, and sequence events using visual aids.
A foundational ELA sequence for Pre-K students to explore the musicality of language. Through auditory exercises, visual tracking, and choral reading, children learn to identify rhymes and follow the rhythmic beat of stories and poems.
A Pre-K ELA sequence focused on distinguishing between reality and fiction through movement, categorization, and critical thinking. Students become 'Reality Detectives' to identify possible versus impossible events, real-life helpers versus superheroes, and realistic settings versus fantasy worlds.
A Pre-K sequence designed to help students distinguish between reality and fiction by creating their own narratives. Students learn to recount true personal events and then modify them with imaginative, impossible elements.
A Pre-K inquiry-based unit that helps young learners distinguish between factual animal information and fictional character traits through visual and behavioral clues. Students become 'Animal Detectives' to spot reality versus make-believe in literature.
A workshop-style sequence for Kindergarteners focusing on the mechanics of handwriting. Students move from gross motor sky writing to fine motor control, learning to build and categorize uppercase and lowercase letters using lines, curves, and spatial alignment.
A Pre-K ELA sequence focused on reading comprehension of informational texts through the lens of animal habitats. Students explore forests, oceans, farms, deserts, and arctic regions to understand how animals survive in their environments.
A fun, inquiry-based ELA sequence for Pre-K students that uses a classroom mystery to teach the four primary question words: Who, What, Where, and When. Students act as detectives to find a missing class mascot while mastering interrogative vocabulary.
A Pre-K ELA sequence focused on teaching children to use 'Who', 'Where', 'What', and 'Why' to understand stories. Through interactive read-alouds, games, and creative activities, students become 'Story Investigators' who use question words as tools for comprehension.
A foundational ELA sequence for Kindergarten students focusing on the question words 'Who', 'What', and 'Where'. Through games, sorting activities, and mystery-solving, students learn to associate 'Who' with people, 'What' with objects, and 'Where' with locations.
This Pre-K sequence focuses on the visual features of written letters. Students learn to distinguish between consonants and vowels by analyzing shapes (lines and curves), identifying specific VIP letters, and categorizing them using color-coded systems.
A vibrant ELA sequence for Pre-K students to explore phonological awareness through rhythmic poetry, rhyming books, and alliteration. Students will develop auditory discrimination skills by clapping to beats, identifying rhyme pairs, and practicing choral reading.
A Pre-K sequence focused on narrative comprehension, teaching students to identify the beginning, middle, and end of stories and retell them in order. Students use visual aids, movement, and props to master story sequencing.
A Pre-K ELA sequence focused on action verbs through the lens of animal movements. Students observe, mimic, and categorize animal actions to build a descriptive vocabulary beyond generic terms like 'walk' or 'run'.
A game-based sequence for Pre-K students to distinguish between informational and narrative texts by focusing on the 'purpose' of reading: learning facts versus enjoying stories. Students use detective and construction themes to categorize texts using visual and auditory cues.
A project-based unit for Pre-K students to explore the difference between reality and fiction by creating their own stories based on personal experiences and creative imagination. Students transition from reporting real-life events to spinning imaginative tales, culminating in the creation of two personal mini-books.
A kinesthetic ELA sequence for Pre-K students that teaches sight words through gross motor movement, including jumping, searching, dancing, and racing. Students connect physical action with rapid word recognition to build reading foundations in a high-energy, engaging environment.
