How it works:
First graders complete one lesson per week, which each one themed according to an alphabet letter and a matching animal character, such as “Andy the Ant” and “Jackie the Jaguar.” Using the included answer keys, students can check their own work easily for independent learning.
Recipient of the 2020 Parents’ Picks Award for Best Educational Products for Preschool and Elementary Kids, the Smart Start: Read and Write series provides engaging reading experiences that encourage children to become life-long readers.
Every themed unit follows a similar format and includes:
- Alphabet stories: Introduce two-word family patterns and include an audio read-aloud option.
- Spell It! activities: Focus on writing and vocabulary.
- Write It! activities: Provide practice reading and writing simple sentences.
- Read It! activities: Provide reading and reading comprehension practice.
- Find It! activities: Provide fun word searches around the word families of the week.
- Let’s Review! activities: This simple review activity helps you evaluate your child’s understanding of word families and provides additional practice.
Core subject areas and topics include:
- Writing and reading simple words and sentences
