This pacing guide is intended to be lengthened/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 (See below). 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: Kindergarten, please keep in mind that it will be necessary to be flexible with your 90-minute 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.
