Curriculum
Outline
This
program will cover a whole year of learning. I have created a schedule
that lasts 40 weeks. You are welcome to adapt the schedule for your
own family. This is just a suggestion. Have fun with it!
Your
child should know all the basic sounds of the letters that were covered
in the Letter of the Week curriculum,
and many of the sounds from the Sound
of the Week curriculum, before beginning this one.
Optional:
You could combine the Sound of the Week and Story of the Week curriculums
together. Alternate each week between the two. This is just
an alternative suggestion for those who have very eager young readers.
It is much simpler to do them separately. But choose what works best
for your child.
Every
few weeks you will teach new sight words and then read stories that will
begin your child on a path to lifelong reading. There are game suggestions
to help teach the sight words. Go only as fast as your child can
manage.
A nice
resource for lists of sight words taught to beginning readers is the Dolch
Word List. You can refer to this list if you would like to teach
even more sight words than are found in the Story of the Week curriculum.
