Districts are encouraged to customize this lesson by supplementing with district-approved resources, materials, and activities to best meet the needs of learners. The duration for this lesson is only a recommendation, and districts may modify the time frame to meet students needs. To better understand how your district may be implementing CSCOPE lessons, please contact your child s teacher. (For your convenience, please find linked the TEA Commissioner s List of State Board of Education Approved Instructional Resources and Midcycle State Adopted Instructional Materials.) Lesson Organizer Lesson Synopsis Reading and writing along with listening and speaking are ways in which one can convey a message to others. Students listen and read attentively to understand messages from others. Students speak and write with careful attention to their choice of words to convey messages to others. Students improve their phonological skills through practice through rhyming and alliteration. Students explore the parts of a sentence and parts of a book through guided and independent practice. Performance Indicators Grade 01 ELAR Unit 01 PI 01 Using the conventions of oral language, repeat poems, songs, and rhymes. Generate, write, and read aloud a series of rhyming words and a sentence demonstrating alliteration. Standard(s): 1.2A, 1.3B, 1.3D, 1.8A, 1.21A, 1.22A, 1.22E, 1.28A ELPS ELPS.c.1H, ELPS.c.2A, ELPS.c.2B, ELPS.c.2C, ELPS.c.2E, ELPS.c.3A, ELPS.c.4A, ELPS.c.5A, ELPS.c.5B, ELPS.c.5C Key Understandings Understanding that print is associated with spoken language supports the development of word recognition and enhances oral and written communication. Letters and letter combinations represent sounds. Writers use personal experiences to develop stories which they communicate with others. Listening and speaking are critical in learning new words. page 1 of 84

The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills () listed below are the standards adopted by the State Board of Education, which are required by Texas law. Any standard that has a strike-through (e.g. sample phrase) indicates that portion of the standard is taught in a previous or subsequent unit. The are available on the Texas Education Agency website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=6148. 1.1 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Print Awareness. Students understand how English is written and printed. Students are expected to: 1.1B Identify upper- and lower-case letters. 1.1C Sequence the letters of the alphabet. 1.1D Recognize the distinguishing features of a sentence (e.g., capitalization of first word, ending punctuation). 1.1E Read texts by moving from top to bottom of the page and tracking words from left to right with return sweep; and 1.1F Identify the information that different parts of a book provide (e.g., title, author, illustrator, table of contents). 1.2 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Phonological Awareness. Students display phonological awareness. Students are expected to: 1.2A Orally generate a series of original rhyming words using a variety of phonograms (e.g., -ake, - ant, -ain) and consonant blends (e.g., bl, st, tr). 1.3 Reading/Beginning Reading Skills/Phonics. Students use the relationships between letters and sounds, spelling patterns, and morphological analysis to decode written English. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater depth in increasingly more complex texts. Students are expected to: 1.3A Decode words in context and in isolation by applying common letter-sound correspondences. 1.3A.i 1.3A.ii single letters (consonants) including b, c=/k/, c=/s/, d, f, g=/g/ (hard), g=/j/ (soft), h, j, k, l, m, n, p, qu=/kw/, r, s=/s/, s=/z/, t, v, w, x=/ks/, y, and z. single letters (vowels) including short a, short e, short i, short o, short u, long a (a-e), long e (e), long i (i-e), long o (o-e), long u (u-e), y=long e, and y=long i. page 2 of 84

1.3B Combine sounds from letters and common spelling patterns (e.g., consonant blends, long- and short-vowel patterns) to create recognizable words. 1.3C Use common syllabication patterns to decode words, including: 1.3C.i closed syllable (CVC) (e.g., mat, rab-bit). 1.3D Decode words with common spelling patterns (e.g., -ink, -onk, -ick). 1.8 Reading/Comprehension of Literary Text/Poetry. Students understand, make inferences and draw conclusions about the structure and elements of poetry and provide evidence from text to support their understanding. Students are expected to: 1.8A Respond to and use rhythm, rhyme, and alliteration in poetry. 1.12 Reading/Comprehension of Text/Independent Reading. Students read independently for sustained periods of time and produce evidence of their reading. Students are expected to: 1.12A Read independently for a sustained period of time. 1.17 Writing/Writing Process. Students use elements of the writing process (planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) to compose text. Students are expected to: 1.17A Plan a first draft by generating ideas for writing (e.g., drawing, sharing ideas, listing key ideas). 1.17B Develop drafts by sequencing ideas through writing sentences. 1.20 Oral and Written Conventions/Conventions. Students understand the function of and use the conventions of academic language when speaking and writing. Students will continue to apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to: 1.20B Speak in complete sentences with correct subject-verb agreement. 1.21 Oral and Written Conventions/Handwriting, Capitalization, and Punctuation. Students write legibly and use appropriate capitalization and punctuation conventions in their compositions.

Consider laminating the alphabet mats as students will be using them throughout the Daily Lessons. 3. Prepare bags of plastic upper-case letters A-Z for each student. These bags of letters will be used in multiple Daily Lessons. 2. Select a gradeappropriate fiction book to read aloud. 3. Duplicate the Handout: Attentive Listeners for each student. 2. Select an assortment of independent level texts (most will probably be at the emergent level) to place in each box or basket for every 3-4 students. If students reading levels are known, create leveled boxes/baskets and assign 3-4 students to each basket. These boxes/baskets will be used throughout the Daily Lessons. Refer to Teacher Notes. 3. Select one of the books from the box to use during the modeling of Independent Reading. 2. Label one Writer s Notebook for each student. This can be a composition book, a spiral notebook, a small threering binder, or a folder with paper in the brads. The first few pages will be designated for keeping a list of writing ideas or possible topics. 3. Create a Teacher Writer s Notebook to model writing and the writing process.

Most importantly at this stage, the teacher stresses that writing has a purpose. Writing is a way to convey ideas. It is critical that students understand that their writing, whether drawn or conventionally written, must represent an idea with meaning. Teacher Notes The boxes/baskets of texts for student selection will be used throughout the Daily Lessons. These boxes/baskets need to refreshed and updated with new texts often to keep students interested. This Daily Lesson provides the foundation for Writer s Workshop. The routines and procedures will gradually build throughout upcoming Daily Lessons. The Writer s Notebooks need to have two sections labeled Ideas and Drafts. This can be done ahead of time for students or it can be done together. Also, determine how students will date the pages of the Writer s Notebook. Ideas include a date stamp, writing the date in numbers, or writing the date out page 8 of 84

Refer to Daily Lesson 1 Independent Reading The routine of Think, Tell, Draw, Write is used in first grade to help students get from idea to first draft: Think (choose a topic from the teacher list and think about the experience or idea) Tell (talk with a partner about that experience or idea) Draw (draw a simple picture of your idea) Write (put your ideas down in sentences) The Draw step serves as a temporary scaffold for those students who are still emergent writers. As students progress, this scaffold can removed to focus page 18 of 84

Daily Lesson #: 02 WORD STUDY SHARED READING INDEPENDENT READING WRITING more on putting ideas down using words rather than pictures. Starting with Daily Lesson 2 Writing, students will begin the Writing component with a handwriting routine. Teachers may choose to introduce letters as they are introduced in Word Study or use their district-adopted handwriting program. Handwriting should not last more than 3-5 minutes and should focus on correct formation of both upper and lower case letters using paper that is supportive of first grade handwriting. This should be review for first graders who were taught proper formation in Kindergarten. Teachers should identify students that have developed poor habits and spend time with those students one on one or in small group with more intensive instruction. page 19 of 84

Instruct students to listen for the sound /ĭ/ at the beginning of a word. If the word starts with /ĭ/, students show thumbs up. If it starts with another sound, they show thumbs down. Use the following words: itch, hand, igloo, book, rain, iguana, if, swing, ill, it Say: The letter I makes the sound: /ĭ/. Watch my mouth. I, /ĭ/ Ask students to notice what their mouths and throats do as they echo the sound. Possible prompts include: What do your lips, tongue, and throat do as you make this sound? Is your mouth opened or closed? Does your throat wiggle? Is your voice on or off? Do you feel air coming out of your mouth? Ask students to listen and echo again. Review: The letter I a discussion is taking turns talking about a certain topic or having a conversation. 2. Ask: What are some rules we will need to follow when we have discussions as a class or in small groups? Discuss responses. 3. Teach children the following hand signals for discussion rules: Raise your hand to speak (put hand in air.) Listen to the speaker (put hand by ear.)

Instruct students to repeat after you in the following pattern: letter name, picture, letter sound (I, iguana, /ĭ/) 3. Distribute the Handout: Alphabet Mat to each student. Warm up by touching and saying the names of the letters in order. first attempt at putting an idea into words on paper. 5. Model the Think, Tell, Draw, Write process. Think Aloud about which topic would make a good story. Put a star by it. Tell students briefly about the selected experience or idea. Add details to the picture that correspond with what is being told to students. Explain that writers tell stories by writing words on paper. Telling the story out loud and drawing the picture helps a writer know what to write on paper. 6. Think Aloud while modeling how to generate at least one complete sentence that represents the selected idea. 4. Tell students that they can also practice the letters in a random order. Say the letters in a random order. Students echo and touch. page 22 of 84

Daily practice of a few words can build automaticity in reading, spelling, and writing. There are different schools of thought regarding which words page 45 of 84

Daily Lesson #: 05 WORD STUDY SHARED READING INDEPENDENT READING WRITING should be placed on the Word Wall. Some advocate that it is only for high-frequency words. Others use words with common spelling patterns (word families), vocabulary words, or even content area words. One suggestion is to have a Word Wall with high-frequency words, word family words, and vocabulary words. Words can be color-coded (for example: green for decodable words, red for words that are not decodable). Another suggestion is to have separate Word Walls and practice with each Word Wall regularly. High-frequency word - a small group of words (300-500) that account for a large percentage of words in print; can be regular or irregular words. Often, they are referred to as "sight words" since automatic recognition of these words is required for fluent reading. Sight word - a word that is recognized immediately. Note: Sometimes sight words are thought to be only words that are irregular or high-frequency page 46 of 84
