Reading Block for first and second grade is 75-80 minutes of instruction on the student’s instructional level. It includes word study and guided reading.
Word study for the OPLC is Project Read Phonology which is a multi-sensory program utilizing direct teaching of concepts to be mastered by your child.
Guided reading instruction is to take your child from where they are in their reading development and move them towards independence at a higher level.
In Kindergarten Reading Block is a 40-50 minute period which includes:
Phonemic awareness: The ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words.
Phonics instruction: Project Read is a step by step way, covering all the basic sounds in the English language: (the consonant sounds, the blends, the digraphs, the vowels, and various combinations).
Guided reading: a small group of students who are at or about the same reading level are helped through a text by a teacher.
