What is the Kindergarten Language Arts Curriculum?
When kids start school, for the first time, there is a ton of excitement. Kids are just happy to be around other kids and see something new. Many educational experts agree that this is one of the most important years in a child's academic and social development. There is a huge gamut of skills for students to gather at this time.
In Kindergarten students will focus on building a foundation for their Language Arts, Math, and Science skills. In language arts the initial focus is on mastering the alphabet. Once they can recognize the letters, students are asked to attribute specific sounds to letters and then letter groups. Students then move on to learning the spelling and meaning of short sounds. This leads to students extending their vocabulary and identifying unknown words. Students are also expected to have a good handle on sight words or words they know when they see it.
At this stage, parents are often struggling to understand if their child is truly ready for school and learning in general. There are many different things that go into making this decision. Does the student have the attention span and focus to be a successful learner? Do they have the general behavioral skills required to be part of a social learning environment? If these questions are in doubt, it is often helpful to retain the student and general biological maturation usually solves the problem.
As students begin to tackle language arts in school the focus is on being able to read and write developmentally appropriately. It is often helpful to focus on developing reading fluency prior to worrying so much about comprehension at this level. The general skills that we hope they have when graduating kindergarten include:
