Read common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does).
Distinguish between similarly spelled words by identifying the sounds of the letters that differ.
FluencyRF.K.4. Read emergent-reader texts with
purpose and understanding.19
• The Daily 5 is a structured language arts program that helps students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy!
Students are carefully taught how to choose a good-fit (just-right) book to read. Each student in our classroom has his/her special book box to place all just-right books in.
While students work independently, teachers will teach guided reading and confer with individual students.
While we work with a small reading group, all other students are highly engaged in the Daily 5 reading activities around the room.

the count sequence. Count to tell the number of
objects. Compare numbers.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Measurement and Data Describe and compare measurable
attributes. Classify objects and count the number
of objects in each category Geometry
