FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the benefits to using 1st grade interactive read aloud lessons in your classroom? Interactive read alouds give your read alouds purpose! They allow you to meet standards in an engaging way while using picture books as mentor texts to teach 1st grade comprehension strategies. They also give students a connection to new vocabulary words.

These books seem too hard for my 1st grade students! You, the teacher, will be reading these books to students whole group. They will be working on comprehension strategies while listening to the story. These November interactive read alouds will not take the place of your phonics instruction or small group reading instruction.

How would you suggest fitting these interactive read alouds into my ELA block? These 1st grade interactive read alouds would take place during your whole group reading curriculum (classroom read alouds). This might look like:

  • Phonemic Awareness Mini Lesson – 5 minutes
  • Shared Reading – 5 minutes
  • Empowering Little Readers Lesson – 20 minutes
  • Students complete independent practice from the lesson (this is their ticket to centers) – 5 minutes
  • Literacy Centers and Small Group Reading – NOT in this curriculum
  • Phonics Lesson and Practice – NOT in this curriculum
  • Vocabulary Mini Lesson – 5 minutes
  • Mentor Sentence and Grammar Mini Lesson – 5-10 minutes

What are the benefits to using mentor sentences in 1st grade? Mentor sentences allow first grade students to work on concepts of print, fluency and reading with expression, and grammar skills while relating to their read aloud.

Do these 1st grade reading units include comprehension tests or assessments? Yes, there is a comprehension check quiz about the text at the end of the week. This assessment is optional.

What do the first grade vocabulary lessons look like? The 1st grade vocabulary lessons are short mini lessons. Each week will focus on 4 vocabulary words that come from the interactive read aloud, which will give students a connection to the words. Students will learn the vocabulary words with hand motions, define and illustrate the vocabulary words, relate the vocabulary words to their own experiences, and use the vocabulary words in sentences.

What does shared reading look like in 1st grade? Shared reading is first grade poetry. All 1st grade poems included in these units are original poems written by me! Each day, you will read the November first grade poems together for fluency. Students will receive their own poems to put in a poetry folder or notebook. They will also receive a paper poem book for each poem.

What do the 1st grade phonological and phonemic awareness lessons look like? These are quick, teacher-directed phonological and phonemic awareness mini lessons. They are scripted for you. Some weeks include a game and/or worksheet, but not every week.
