The First 20 Days of Reading: 1st Grade



The First 20 Days of Reading: PrimaryThis pacing guide is intended to be extended, condensed, or modified according to your students’ needs. Please continue to revisit and support all skills and concepts that are introduced in the first few weeks through the balanced Literacy model. Our ultimate goal is for students to become proficient in using these skills independently. As you prepare to implement the First 20 Days of Reading, please keep in mind that it will be necessary to be flexible with your reading block. Based on each day’s lessons, you may find you need extended time for one component as you put systems in place. Use your judgment, based on your students’ needs to adjust instructional time dedicated to each balanced Literacy component.Day 5 of each week has been designed to be a day to bring together all of the week’s objectives. This will provide time for both teachers and students to practice and discuss all skills and strategies.Mini Lesson, Shared Reading, Independent Reading & Literacy Centers/StationsDayMini Lesson Key ConceptsLearning OutcomesResources NeededDay 1Mini LessonWe are all members of a community of readers. Readers read and share their thinking about their reading.Students learn the rituals, routines, and schedule of Reading Workshop so they can establish consistent meeting procedures and habits.Anchor Chart – Listeners Look Like/Sound LikeText Selection Independent ReadingIntroducing the Classroom LibraryAreas to Highlight:Browsing Boxes*Author collectionsGenre collectionsTopic collections*Browsing Boxes are baskets of leveled texts with a variety of genresAllow students to practice selecting a text and returning it to its appropriate location in the library.Our classroom library is organized in a specific way to help us select a variety of books for reading.We are all responsible for taking care of our classroom library.Students will explore and learn how to maintain their organized classroom library.Anchor Chart- Our Classroom Library Organized classroom libraryDayMini Lesson Key ConceptsLearning OutcomesResources NeededDay 2Mini LessonReaders make their thinking public in a Reading CommunityTeacher assigns thinking/talking partners for “Turn and Talk” during Read Aloud and/or Shared Reading. Allow time for students to practice this strategy several times with their assigned partner.Teacher and students model and practice “Turn and Talk” so they know the classroom’s routine for speaking and listening about books.*Continue practicing the “turn and talk” strategy throughout the following weeks.Readers choose books in many different ways.Books can be easy, “just right” or challenging for a reader.248920574040“Thinking and Talking with a Partner”Partners use quiet voicesPartners take turns talkingPartners listen to one anotherPartners respect each other’s thinking00“Thinking and Talking with a Partner”Partners use quiet voicesPartners take turns talkingPartners listen to one anotherPartners respect each other’s thinkingReaders should choose “just right” books most of the time.Students will learn that as readers we are capable of thinking in many different ways and sharing their thinking with others.Text Selection-1905043307000Anchor Chart- “Thinking and Talking with a Partner”Independent ReadingChoosing a “just right” book(Teacher models and students practice)Teaching Tip: This is a lesson that will be revisited and reinforced throughout the year as children grow as readers.Teacher models using 3 different authentic examples that are truly easy, “just right” or challenging for the teacher.Readers choose books in many different ways.Books can be easy, “just right” or challenging for a reader.Readers should choose “just right” books most of the time.1191895464185Choosing a “Just Right” Book The book is interesting.

Literacy Centers/StationsGuidelines for Literacy Centers/StationsTeaching Tip: Over the next few days you will be explicitly introducing Literacy Centers/Stations one at a time. The goal for today is to establish procedural systems for working in Centers/Stations. Remember, students need to have an opportunity to practice rotating between Centers/Stations as well exploring the Centers/Stations. Teaching Tip: Teachers may choose to introduce one or more Centers/Stations per day.Teacher and students will revisit these expectations often and revise as needed.-209551030605Things to Consider:How will students organize their work fromLiteracy Centers/Stations?Where will completed products be placed?Will students turn in every work product?What will students do with incomplete work?Remember these Guiding Statements:Our Literacy Centers/Stations are organized in a specific way to help us do our best learning and thinking.We are all responsible for taking care of our Literacy Centers/Stations.Students will learn how to maintain, use, share, clean up and manage materials appropriately in Literacy Centers/Stations.00Things to Consider:How will students organize their work fromLiteracy Centers/Stations?Where will completed products be placed?Will students turn in every work product?What will students do with incomplete work?Remember these Guiding Statements:Our Literacy Centers/Stations are organized in a specific way to help us do our best learning and thinking.We are all responsible for taking care of our Literacy Centers/Stations.Students will learn how to maintain, use, share, clean up and manage materials appropriately in Literacy Centers/Stations.Readers and writers follow specific guidelines to work together and help one another do our best learning.Students learn to refer to and follow the classroom guidelines for Literacy Centers/Stations.
