The First 20 Days of Reading: 1st Grade



The First 20 Days of Reading: 1st Grade

This 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 (See attachment).

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 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.

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.

Throughout these 20 days, remember to work-in time for assessments (TPRI, Tejas Lee, DRA, EDL). Students can be pulled for assessments as your class is reading independently and working in centers.

Student Accountability in Literacy Work Centers

Decide on how your students will keep track of their work in literacy centers. (Work folders, learning logs, response journals, etc.)

Accountability at literacy work centers can be determined from student’s work products, discussion participation, and teacher anecdotal notes.

Student accountability work products should be adjusted throughout the year as students learn and internalize new skills and strategies.

Model and discuss these expectations.

Things to Consider:

1. How will students organize their work from

literacy centers?

2. Where will completed products be placed?

3. Will students turn in every work product?

4. What will students do with incomplete work?

Remember these Guiding Statements:

Our literacy centers 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.

Students will learn how to maintain, use, share, clean up and manage materials appropriately in literacy centers.
