Introduction Welcome to Readers in Rhyme Language Arts program Level KA. This program is designed to ensure that learning phonics is enjoyable and easy for both teacher and student. At CSS our goal is to create beautiful, rich curriculum that is comprehensive but never overwhelming.

Key Features: Scripted Lessons: Our Language Arts curriculum features step-by-step scripted lessons. Each lesson provides clear instructions, guiding you through the material easily.

Open-and-Go Format: Easy prep and lesson planning.

Multi-Sensory Approach: Listen, see and do. Engaging more than one sense at a time helps students process and retain what they are learning. Saying the phonogram sounds while tracing or writing, building words with magnetic letters or tiles, dictation etc. are just a few examples of this. While this approach is great for all students, it is especially helpful for children that struggle with learning to read.

Color-coded phonograms aid with teaching and learning phonics: By using different colors to represent specific phonetic patterns or sounds, students can easily identify and recognize the patterns in words. This visual aid enhances phonemic awareness, improves word decoding skills, and assists in spelling. The color-coded system provides a simple and effective way for both teachers and students to navigate the complexities of the English language and master reading and writing with greater fluency. Red phonograms indicate the letter or letter group makes a vowel sound. Blue phonograms indicate the letter or letter group make a consonant sound.

Auditory and Phonemic Awareness Exercises: help with developing crucial pre-reading and prewriting skills. These exercises focus on recognizing and manipulating sounds in spoken language. By engaging in activities that require students to distinguish and manipulate sounds, they improve their phonemic awareness, which is the ability to identify and work with individual sounds (phonemes) in words.

These exercises are essential for early literacy development as they lay the foundation for reading and writing. Students learn to distinguish between different sounds, blend sounds together to form words, segment words into individual sounds, and manipulate sounds to create new words. These skills are vital for phonics instruction, spelling, and reading comprehension.

Example of auditory exercise found throughout this guide

-Auditory ExerciseMedial Sounds Say to the student: I’m going to say three words. Two of them will have the same MIDDLE sound. One of them will have a different middle sound. I want you to tell me which one is not like the others. Here is an example: beg, hit, met Beg and met both have the /e/ in the middle. Hit has an /i/ in the middle. Hit is not like the others.

(It may be necessary to sound out the words slowly annunciating the vowel sound.)

• hot, hat, mop • nap, slam, box • dig, top, dog • rod, sat, sock • bad, cup, map • mom, log, pin

Mastery Based Program: Our curriculum follows a carefully designed sequence, covering all essential phonics skills progressively. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson and includes plenty of review.

At Classical School Solutions, we strive to offer the best from the past in art and story. Our Readers In Rhyme feature beautiful vintage illustrations carefully restored alongside newly written stories. We hope the timeless themes of virtue in every day life inspire and delight your student.

We are here to support you in any way we can. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us through the website: Schools: classicalschoolsolutions.com Homeschoolers: theclassicalcottage.com Happy reading!

How To Use This Guide 1. Orient yourself to the flow of the pages and sequence of the activities.

• Each lesson’s material is meant to be covered in one week. Each lesson is broken down into four days of teaching material in lessons A, B, C, and D. Day five of the school week is for review.

Each daily lesson has activities that include phonics review and handwriting.

• The nursery rhyme should be read to the children daily and they can work on memorizing each nursery rhyme.

• Phonics exercises can be done in various ways and ideas for activities can be found in teachers notes at the beginning of each lesson.

2. The teacher’s guide is scripted for your conversation with the students.

• The phonics lesson in total should only last 10 - 15 minutes at the most! Follow up work with the sandpaper letters, letter tiles, etc will reinforce the concepts taught.

3. Initially, work slowly to orient the children to the material.

• The goal of this program is to give children a solid phonics foundation. It is much easier to work steadily on mastery than it is to remediate skills later on that were not learned in these early years. Some students will catch on quickly and may need an option for independent work.

4. Incorporating Movement • Try to incorporate movement to as much of the sound and letter recognition as you are able.

Tracing the letter into the air as you say the sound is an easy activity they are able to do standing up. When the students practice handwriting have them say the sound(s) the letter makes while writing.

5. Repetition is Key • Do try to keep the same routine with the material. For those that are struggling this is very comforting. Practice makes progress!

TEACHER’S NOTES

Lesson 1A, 1B,1C, 1D

Phonograms we are working on this week: c, o, g, d Handwriting: Clock Letters

Sandpaper letters • Have the child use their index (pointer) finger to trace the letters in the exact motions used to write on paper String • Have the child create the letters using a piece of yarn (red or dark blue) – 3-6” in length Sandbox • Create a sand tray or sand box using colored sand with a different colored tray or box (white tray/blue sand) • Demonstrate to the child using their index finger to create the letters or words in the sand. Create the letters as you would on paper (same strokes).

Jump and Clap Game • Show a card with the letter of the alphabet. Have the children jump and clap, saying the sound out loud.

Playdough • Demonstrate to the child creating the letters with playdough. Say the sound as they roll the dough into “snakes” Allow the child “free writing” with paper. They will begin to create the letters on their own. Mistakes are ok! They are absorbing the knowledge and learning how to use it. Practice makes progress!

Chalkboard (small is fine). The texture forces the child to write slowly.

If a child is already reading beyond the first lesson, offer the practice sheets anyway. The review is helpful and boosts their self-esteem!

Phonograms we are working on this week: e,z,l,t Handwriting: Dash Line Letters, Top Line Letters

Sandpaper letters • Have the child use their index (pointer) finger to trace the letters in the exact motions used to write on paper String • Have the child create the letters using a piece of yarn (red or dark blue) – 3-6” in length Sandbox • Create a sand tray or sand box using colored sand with a different colored tray or box (white tray/blue sand) • Demonstrate to the child using their index finger to create the letters or words in the sand. Create the letters as you would on paper (same strokes).

Jump and Clap Game • Show a card with the letter of the alphabet. Have the children jump and clap, saying the sound out loud.

Playdough • Demonstrate to the child creating the letters with playdough. Say the sound as they roll the dough into “snakes” Allow the child “free writing” with paper. They will begin to create the letters on their own. Mistakes are ok! They are absorbing the knowledge and learning how to use it. Practice makes progress!

Chalkboard (small is fine). The texture forces the child to write slowly.

If a child is already reading beyond the first lesson, offer the practice sheets anyway. The review is helpful and boosts their self-esteem!

TEACHER’S NOTES

Lesson 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D

Phonograms we are working on this week: G,D,A,S Handwriting: Clock Stroke Letters, Top Line Letters

Sandpaper letters • Have the child use their index (pointer) finger to trace the letters in the exact motions used to write on paper String • Have the child create the letters using a piece of yarn (red or dark blue) – 3-6” in length Sandbox • Create a sand tray or sand box using colored sand with a different colored tray or box (white tray/blue sand) • Demonstrate to the child using their index finger to create the letters or words in the sand. Create the letters as you would on paper (same strokes).

Jump and Clap Game • Show a card with the letter of the alphabet. Have the children jump and clap, saying the sound out loud.

Playdough • Demonstrate to the child creating the letters with playdough. Say the sound as they roll the dough into “snakes” Allow the child “free writing” with paper. They will begin to create the letters on their own. Mistakes are ok! They are absorbing the knowledge and learning how to use it. Practice makes progress!

Chalkboard (small is fine). The texture forces the child to write slowly.

If a child is already reading beyond the first lesson, offer the practice sheets anyway. The review is helpful and boosts their self-esteem!

TEACHER’S NOTES

Lesson 11A, 11B, 11C, 11D

Phonograms we are working on this week: P, E, Z, L Handwriting: Top Line Letters

Sandpaper letters • Have the child use their index (pointer) finger to trace the letters in the exact motions used to write on paper String • Have the child create the letters using a piece of yarn (red or dark blue) – 3-6” in length Sandbox • Create a sand tray or sand box using colored sand with a different colored tray or box (white tray/blue sand) • Demonstrate to the child using their index finger to create the letters or words in the sand. Create the letters as you would on paper (same strokes).

Jump and Clap Game • Show a card with the letter of the alphabet. Have the children jump and clap, saying the sound out loud.

Playdough • Demonstrate to the child creating the letters with playdough. Say the sound as they roll the dough into “snakes” Allow the child “free writing” with paper. They will begin to create the letters on their own. Mistakes are ok! They are absorbing the knowledge and learning how to use it. Practice makes progress!

Chalkboard (small is fine). The texture forces the child to write slowly.

If a child is already reading beyond the first lesson, offer the practice sheets anyway. The review is helpful and boosts their self-esteem!
