Integrated Standards: Standard 1—ask and answer questions about key details in a text—is the basis for responding to questions and completing tasks based on the other reading standards. Progress in each standard supports standard 10 -- With prompting and support, read prose and poetry and informational texts appropriately complex for grade 1.

Nonfiction reading competencies are developed each week in science or social science—ideally students focus on only one nonfiction subject for five weeks so that students learn that content and learn how to read nonfiction.

All the reading competence development is designed to reach standard 10:

With prompting and support, read prose and poetry and informational texts appropriately complex for grade 1.

The Speaking and Listening Standards are Keys to Learning math, science, social science AND literacy!

Comprehension and Collaboration

□ SL.1.1 Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.

__SL.1.1a Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion).

__SL.1.1b Build on others’ talk in conversations by responding to the comments of others through multiple exchanges.

__SL.1.1c Ask questions to clear up any confusion about the topics and texts under discussion.

□ SL.1.2 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.

□ SL.1.3 Ask and answer questions about what a speaker says in order to gather additional information or clarify something that is not understood.

Presentation of Knowledge and Ideas

□ SL.1.4 Describe people, places, things, and events with relevant details, expressing ideas and feelings clearly.

□ SL.1.5 Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

□ SL.1.6 Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation.

Students exercise Speaking and Listening competencies as they proceed through the gradual release of responsibility.
