Kindergarten Reading Curriculum Guide
The planning and pacing of your reading block is crucial. Although the teacher’s edition provides a great pacing system, it is imperative that the teacher reviews the material prior classroom instruction. The planning of a lesson involves a sequence of decision-making and actions..
Consider the following: The students learning styles & experiences How the students process information The students values and attitude The children’s interest, motivation and participation level
The attention span of kindergarten students is between 9 to 15 minutes, therefore, it is important that the teacher does not require the students to remain in one position for longer than 15 minutes. It is a good idea to have the students stretch, move, sing, and/or engage in conversation between activities/lessons.
Consider the following interactions: teacher → student teacher ↔ student interaction student ↔ student (individual & small group) interaction student ↔ class interaction student → teacher
Although this guide can serve as a good starting point for a lesson plan, there are other components you should consider: What additional materials are needed in the centers? What are the intended outcomes? What other resources are required? What is the timing for each component? What are the management strategies? What process will be used to maintain student records? (portfolios) What assessment should be administered and to whom?
It is important to reflect on and identify potential problems. You can anticipate potential problems through: A behavior management plan Organization - structure/sequence (daily schedule), routines, restroom breaks, predictability, grouping, help plan, such as, ask three
other students before you ask the teacher, sign language signals, etc. Praise and acknowledgement - use cheer cards http://www.drjean.org/html/monthly_act/act_2004/06_june/06_2004a.html

Power Standards represent the essential knowledge and skills students need for success in high school and beyond. Power Standards must be mastered to successfully pass the required assessments at each grade level. All TAKS eligible knowledge and skills are identified as Power Standards.
Have a back-up plan or standby activities in case of: equipment/material failures unanticipated results gifted and talented students (extension work) discipline problems (alternative work/tasks)
What makes an outstanding lesson: 1) The learners make good progress because of good teaching. 2) Classroom behavior is good and the learners want to learn. 3) The children’s health and safety are not endangered. 4) The teacher is well informed, confident, and engaging. 5) The teaching methods and delivery styles are effective. 6) The assessment of the students’ work is consistent.
Let’s strive for greatness!

Essential QuestionsHow can I learn about the characters in a story?How can details help me understand selection?What can I learn from the pictures in a selection?How do the parts of a story work together?What clues help me figure out things the author does not tell me?Why do authors write informational text?What causes events in a story to happen?
¿Dónde debo buscar información sobre los personajes de un cuento? ¿Cómo puedo usar los detalles para entender una selección? ¿Qué información me pueden dar las imágenes de una selección? ¿Cómo se relacionan las distintas partes de un cuento? ¿Cuáles son las pistas que me ayudan a entender cosas que el autor no dice? ¿Por qué los autores escriben textos informativos? ¿Por qué tienen lugar los sucesos de un cuento?
