PreK ELA Unit 2
Get Ready to Read! empowers students with emergent literacy skills. In part 1, students learn how to have school-based discussions. In part 2, students prepare to read by previewing books and learning how texts work. In part 3, students engage in read-alouds and share information through discussion. In part 4, students respond to text through movement, art, play, and writing.
This unit should be paired with the Reading Foundations which focus on the acquisition of phonological awareness and phonics which are essential foundations for reading and writing. It is essential that these skills are not taught in isolation, but applied within students reading and writing.
PreK ELA Unit 3
Good Reading Habits empower students with emergent literacy skills. In part 1, students learn the importance of words. In part 2, students build vocabulary through the read-aloud. In part 3, students use their growing language abilities and make connections to self, text, and the world. In part 4, students share new words and connections through movement, art, play, writing, and discussion.
PreK ELA Unit 4
Spring Into Literacy Strategies empowers students with emergent skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In part 1, students learn the importance of using their background knowledge. In part 2, students learn questioning strategies to support communication and thinking. In part 3, students use their growing questioning strategies when reading fiction and non-fiction texts.

PreK ELA Foundational Skills
This unit consists of 4 sub-units designed to provide students with basic foundational skills for word work, closely following the Next Generation Foundation Skills standards. The first part focuses on print concepts, the second on phonological awareness, the third on phonics and the fourth on word recognition. It is essential that a word-work curriculum closely aligns/integrates with reading and writing instruction, supporting how students develop as writers, readers, speakers, and listeners. Additionally, in keeping with the recommendations of the Next Generation Learning Standards, it is important that pre-kindergarten units are developmentally appropriate, with play and hands-on learning underpinning all instruction.
PreK Life Science: Plants and Animals
In this unit, the students will learn to identify what plants and animals need to live and grow. They will also begin to understand how the structure of the plants and animals help them to survive.
PreK Physical Science: Forces
In this unit, the students will begin to explore solids and liquids. They will build a simple device to move and observe how changes to the device impacts how the object moves. The students will also conduct an investigation around sound to prove that sounds are produced by vibrating materials.
