Introduction to KindergartenStudents in Kindergarten learn concepts of print, recognize sounds in individual words, write their first and last name, and recognize all letters in the alphabet. Instruction focuses on asking and answering explicit and inferential questions, retelling and engaging in collaborative conversation. Students identify authors and illustrators and describe characters and setting. Students begin drawing and labeling pictures to tell a story. Students expand their personal and academic vocabulary they can use in speaking. Students participate in read-alouds, developing stamina for listening. |
