PHONICS — Phonics and Word Study Lessons K-3 by Fountas and Pinnell reflect the most current research on child and language development. Instruction is based on both individual idiosyncratic paths as well as developmental patterns that provide a foundation upon which to build instruction. Through these lessons, children become expert word solvers and effective readers. Kindergarten includes four essential areas of language knowledge: phonemic awareness, letters and sounds, reading words, and early reading concepts. Grade 1 expands into more sophisticated concepts and includes six areas of knowledge: phonemic awareness, letters and sounds, reading words, writing words, processing strategies in reading, and processing strategies in writing. Students in grade 2 move into more sophisticated reading and writing concepts with these six areas, and students in grade 3 focus on even more advanced areas of language with addition of vocabulary, fluency in reading and writing, and word meaning. |
