The 1st Grade ELA BPS-prioritized standards were selected to equip your child for a whirlwind of exciting reading and writing adventures!
Your child will build on their kindergarten skills by sounding out longer words, understanding more complex stories, and using their knowledge of sounds and letters to write more independently. They'll learn to identify the main ideas in nonfiction books and pick out important details in stories. They'll also explore different parts of speech, like nouns and verbs, to create their own sentences with clarity and purpose. Get ready to hear all about the characters, settings, and fascinating facts your child discovers as they become a confident reader and writer!
