Students will create a collection using objects, participate in a read-aloud, create another collection using sight word cards, and present their collections to the class.

Students will participate in stations with board games that reinforce rhyming, onset, and rimes, and blending.

Students will use alphabet cards to create consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words and encode and decode given CVC words.

Students will engage in activities that allow them to take a book walk and use criteria to choose a good-fit book, use strategies to self-monitor their own comprehension while independently reading, and use partner talk criteria to reflect on their strategies collaboratively. 

Students will create their own version of "The Three Little Pigs" using story elements on a Beginning, Middle, End (BME) story map. First, students will draft their story map with detailed pictures in sequential order, and then go back and add their words later. Once their story is completed, students will be able to retell their story to peers and their teacher.
