ELA-00.SL

Narrative for the Speaking and Listening Strand:

Speaking and listening standards require students to develop a range of oral communication and interpersonal skills that facilitate various types of discussion and oral exchange. Students must learn to work together, express and listen carefully to ideas, and integrate information from various sources, (e.g., oral, visual, quantitative, and media). Students must also gain skills in evaluating what they hear, use various sources to support what they are communicating, and adapt their speech to the content and the task at hand. 

Speaking and listening skills are necessary prerequisites for reading and writing. Oral language development precedes and is the foundation for writing. A student’s listening and speaking vocabulary sets boundaries on what that student can read and understand no matter how well they decode. In addition, new technologies have expanded the role speaking and listening play in acquiring and sharing ideas, tightening their link with other forms of communication.
 

Students in kindergarten participate in discussions with peers and adults about grade level topics and texts they have heard read aloud or presented orally or through other media. They learn and practice rules of discussion such as taking turns and listening to others. They ask and answer questions about key details in texts and other information presented orally. They also use questioning to acquire additional information and to clarify something that is not understood. 

How to help your child with the Speaking and Listening Standards:

  • At dinner time or in the car, have conversations with your child to allow him/her to practice the art of conversation
  • Respond to your child in sentences to model for him/her the correct way to talk
  • Ask for details about books, movies, and television shows you are viewing with your child
  • Ask your child to tell you in his/her own words about what he/she hears and sees
  • Encourage your child to describe his/her feelings and ideas in phrases and sentences that are more descriptive than just one word
  • Use complete sentences when you talk to your child and encourage him/her to speak in the same way

ELA-00.W

Narrative for the Writing Strand:

The standards in this strand include three kinds of writing: opinion, informative, and narrative. Opinion and informative writing will likely start with kids reading one or more books and responding to what they’ve learned. In an opinion piece, your child introduces the book or topic he’s writing about, states his opinion or preference about it, gives a reason or two to support his opinion (e.g. Goldilocks was wrong to go into the home of the 3 bears.)  The kindergarten writer is also learning to use conclusions.

In an informative piece, your child names what he’s writing about and gives some information, facts, or details about it (e.g. Dogs bark and come in many sizes).

Writing a narrative is like writing a story, and your child’s story may be inspired by books, experiences, or pure imagination. Your child's story should describe an events with some details about the event  (e.g. I went to the circus and I saw a clown) and give some sense of the story coming to an end (It was fun).

In kindergarten written language skills are emerging. Students will be using thier inventive spelling as they emerge as writers (bunny may first be spelled with the beginning sound "b" or spelled "bne"). Written language skills are addressed in the Language standards strand.  

 

How can I help my child at home with the writing strand standards?

  • Let your child see you write - notes, letters, memories.  Read aloud what you have written.
  • Establish a place to leave messages for each other such as a wipe-off or cork board (your child may draw you a picture message to begin with)
  • Talk with your child about their opinion about a topic or book by stating the opinion and giving a reason for his/her thinking. “My favorite book is … because …”.   Model this by giving your own opinions about topics or books.
  • Have your child write/draw about a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and find a way to close/end the piece.  
  • Help your child see that order is important in writing about a story or happening, using a proper sequence of events.
  • Help your child to use the computer, pens, crayons, paint, etc. to produce and publish what he/she has written/drawn.  Have them read aloud what they have written.
  • Do simple research about a given topic together – write down the facts and details you find about the topic
  • Help your child to recall information about his/her own experiences, or what he/she has read or researched, to answer questions
