Common Core Standards

Reading: Foundational Skills—Grade 1
Well, we may have said that kindergarten Common Core Standards for Reading: Foundational Skills were the foundation of all Foundational Skills to come. And it's true, but honestly, first graders get to do a little recap of the same standards with a few extra details thrown in.
These standards break down what our letters and words look like, what they sound like, and how they all fit together. Once first graders have strengthened that foundation, they'll be ready for the second grade.
