This is my Week 1 go-to curriculum in First Grade.
What?
Hold the Phone!
Screeching tires!!!!!!
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom in first grade????
Teacher to the Core has gone off her rocker?!?
Yes this book is used and loved by all kinder teachers, but vowels
are hard for first graders to identify.
Kinders end their year delving into medial vowels and so I start my
year with a little warm up on identifying vowels.
I use this unit!
It is designed to suit the needs of kinder and first grade teachers.
Pages are differentiated for varied skill level.

The vowel search pages help the kids see / search for
the vowels, just like they need to in real reading.
Kids highlight the vowels (shown below) and the picture appears.
Kinder pages have less letters.
I don't want them to be overwhelmed.
This is the same page, but designed for first grade.
Then, they take those skills to searching for
vowels in real words. They highlight the vowel.
I also added pages where kids can fill in the medial vowel.
The practice pages are fun and engaging.
I like to see my students smile for sure.
Plus the "Smart Art" is toooo cute.
I developed the art project my first year in first grade.
Wow that was 4 years ago. I was panicked
to come to first grade, but it is a dreamy-dream
spending the day with these students!
Now, I have added these fun little pages
to the Smart Art in order to meet the
Common Core Reading Foundational Skills Standard
I hope you hop on over to TpT if you love what you see.
