Innova Reading Bookshelf Grade 1 - Grade 1: Lexile 100L – 200L, 50 – 150 words

Reading Skills in Grade 1
Skill 1: Understanding short sentences
Short sentences with basic English sentence patterns are introduced systematically. Each sentence is on its own line in the prose text, so children can see the structure clearly, and begin to internalize basic sentence patterns in English.
The patterns in Grade 1 are:
S V, e.g., The dog runs.
S V A, e.g., They walk past.
S V C, e.g., She is happy.
S V O, e.g., The chicken makes bread.
S V O A, e.g., He drops the meat into the river.
Narrative present simple is used
throughout.
Skill 2: Understanding relationships
between sentences
Links between sentences – e.g., indefinite to definite article, noun to pronoun – are introduced gradually, and each feature appears many times to ensure that children understand discourse references.
Skill 3: Predicting next events
in a continuing story
The ‘What happens next?’ feature on each page makes this essential subskill fun, and enables a teacher or parent to check how much the young learner has understood about the story and the possible continuation sentences.
