![]() ![]() LLATL Blue: This is another curriculum that starts slow and ends up in the same place phonics wise. This program has a LOT of text on each page, much more than SL or Calvert, so the readers look like chapter books. Pathway readers: This one starts slow with letter sounds, but by the end of the year they've covered all the phonics that SL and Calvert do and they have even more sight words. ![]() This ends at about the same level as SL but it includes more sight words. Seuss (Green Eggs and Ham, One Fish Two Fish, Cat in the Hat) by the end of the year.Ĭalvert 1st grade: covers consonant blends, digraphs, silent e and some vowel combinations ay, ai, ea, ie, oa, etc. SL First Grade LA: covers ETC 1,2,3 and you are reading easy Dr. This isn't an extensive list because I haven't used everything (it only feels that way) nor am I going to cover multigrade resources like OPGTR because they don't divide their contents by grade. Instead, I'm going to list a few first grade hs reading curricula and what they cover. That depends so much on the school and the individual child that I don't think it's a good way to gauge reading level. I'm not sure about ps or private school reading levels. So there you go.yes, there is a wide variety of reading levels / reading expectations by the end of K. I'm patient, we'll get there eventually:-) Now I'm teaching my 5yo to read, and she is definitely not at the "if I had dinosaur" level yet, but probably by middle of next year. She's 7 now & not the greatest reader in the world, but we're getting along. You know what? She can read "If I had a dinosaur" now blindfolded & one hand tied behind her back. Read level 1 easy readers (example: "If I had a dinosaur, I wouldn't wait in line, Basketball would be a snap, rainy days would turn out fine." I copied this from a 32 page level 1 book that a public school K kid read to my dd about 5 months into the school year, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack) Phonetically sound out words (short vowels, consonant blends) In contrast, our local full-day K kids could: She was slllooowww to sound out words and reading phonetic readers was painful to my ears. I had a panic attack when my dd was in homeschool K, and many ladies here had to talk me down from the ledge, lol. I would say that we are far ahead our local public school but perhaps a quarter year behind our local private Christian school. He does very well reading Bob books or Nora Gaydos readers but we are a good ways away from Frog and Toad - maybe by Christmas he'll be there. Right now we are working on the easy vowel combinations of: ai, ay, oa, ow, ee, ea and he's progressing nicely, needs practice before we move on to other vowel combinations. Basically he is good with short vowels and long vowels/silent e words, consonant blends and digraphs are good too. I think because there is such a vast difference between where the public school ends kinder and where private school ends kinder I can't help but wonder if we are "behind" but truly, we are where we are and we will just keep moving forward. My 2nd son is finishing kinder and I was trying to figure out if we had made appropriate distance in learning to read - then I realized that there is just so much variance that it's impossible to really gauge that. I edited my post out and then people answered anyway so I'll go ahead and put my question back.
