What is Pre-K Literacy ?
Pre-K Literacy Curriculum units are based upon the close read model. Each week you will focus on one text and each day look closely at that text. Pre-K Literacy is a 42 week literacy curriculum that includes lesson plans for oral language, phonological awareness, print awareness, whole-group reading, whole-body and the art. Pre-K Literacy includes a weekly craft, skill check, follow-up practice sheets each day and SO much more! The units have been completely planned out for you, but with the ability for you to have them meet your individual needs.
Pre-K Literacy Curriculum is a simple print and teach literacy curriculum. No more tracking down ideas, books, printables, and writing! I have it covered!

What skills are covered in Pre-K Literacy?
Pre-K literacy is WAY more than just a read-aloud program! Pre-K literacy covers SEVEN major areas of study each day!
Oral Language, Phonological Awareness, Print Awareness, Read Aloud, Independent Practice, Whole-Body and The Arts
Below I will break down each of the above further!
Oral Language:
Each week will be choosing a category of vocabulary words to the study. These "life-based" words will be on top of the vocabulary words found in the context of the book. These words are perfect for our youngest learners and ELL kiddos! Included are vocabulary picture cards, discrimination cards (realistic and fiction clip art), expansion of verbal vocabulary and following one and two-step directions using the words.
Phonological Awareness: The students will work on one area of phonological awareness each unit!
Print Awareness: Each week the students will work on the following print awareness skills:
Book Handling
Title, Author, Illustrator
Directionality
Concepts of Print (illustration, sentence, word, letter)
Environmental Print
Reader's Workshop: This is your "meaty" part of the lesson where you and the students interact with the text. See the systematic close read you will follow each week.
Monday- Build interest on the topic, predict, essential questions, read cold.
Tuesday- Build knowledge of unknown vocabulary
Wednesday- Text dependent questions (simple recall and story elements)
Thursday- Retell or Story Elements for the week
Friday- Week wrap up- assessment (optional), Craft, Recap
Independent and Hands-On Application: Each day there is an included practice sheet or assessment. These are completely OPTIONAL and are not necessary for the success of the lessons. Each week also includes a literacy center.
