Kindergarten Reading Strategy and Curriculum Standards

Kindergarten Reading Strategy and Curriculum Standards

A kindergarten reading strategy includes writing of words and brief sentences using language arts lessons and language arts worksheets. Kindergarten students are expected to write legibly using both uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet independently, attending to the form and proper spacing of the letters.

The kindergarten reading strategy encourages children to use letters and phonetically spelled words to write about experiences, stories, people, objects, or events. They are taught to write consonant-vowel-consonant word and the reading teacher guides them to write by moving from left to right and from top to bottom. Children at the kindergarten level are also taught to spell independently by using pre-phonetic knowledge, sounds of the alphabet, and a knowledge of letter names.
