This product is the writing, reading comprehension, grammar, Shared Reading Book and vocabulary component. Please read product description carefully as all units are different and do not have the same activities.

**This product is created by a current first grade teacher teaching CA Benchmark Advance First Grade with extensive experience in this grade. Activities are written in first grade friendly language.

I have done almost all the work for you and created this supplemental unit with Anchor Chart Posters. As always, I have included many quality activities for you to pick and choose what you feel is important. You can use the pages in this unit for small group, centers, whole group, morning work, and homework (you may not post these on the internet).

It is aligned with the series including many of the concepts and more. I have added a creative touch to teaching the concepts in the series. I love using Depth and Complexity prompts/icon and Depth of Knowledge (DOK) to create my activities. I also include Thinking Maps and Close Reading in my products. This is great teaching for all. If you are looking for something that matches Benchmark Advance exactly or exact Benchmark wording DO NOT purchase this unit. This is my interpretation of the series. I have no affiliation with Benchmark Advance.
