Skills: The curriculum Oak View uses for English Language Arts is Core Knowledge Language Arts. This is broken down into 10 units. • Unit 1 lays the groundwork for reading and writing. • Unit 2 students learn how to blend syllables together to form multisyllabic words. They also learn how to orally produce two- and three-sound words by blending sounds. • Unit 3 students are introduced to eight sounds and they practice blending these sounds into words. They also learn how to form the letters that make these sounds. • Unit 4 introduces students to eight new sounds. With the decodable Big Book (Pet Fun), students practice blending these sounds into words. Students also practice previously learned letter-sound correspondences. • Unit 5 introduces students to eight new sounds and students continue to practice blending sounds together with a new decodable Big Book (Ox Man)

• Unit 6 students are encouraged to automatize the letter-sound correspondences and blending procedures they have learned so far. • Unit 7 introduces students to digraphs. Students develop automaticity in blending and segmenting these sounds. • Unit 8 introduces students to double-letter spellings for consonant sounds, as well as seven highfrequency Tricky Words. • Unit 9 students practice writing uppercase letters and learn 17 new Tricky Words. This unit also introduces worksheets with story questions, comprehension questions related to the decodable Student Reader, Zack and Ann.
