Skills and concepts introduced in one unit are revisited and strengthened, both within a grade level and across grade levels. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the new Units of Study for Teaching Reading, Grade K\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Units of Study in Reading for Kindergarten \u003c\/i\u003eare designed to help you introduce your students not only to the reading workshop but also to school.  \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  In  \u003ci\u003eUnit 1, We Are Readers\u003c\/i\u003e, your task will be to get your students excited about reading and to help them feel comfortable in the classroom. Students will work to develop essential pre-reading skills, and they'll practice these skills both on their own and with their peers. In  \u003ci\u003eUnit 2, Sharing Reading\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll channel your students to pay attention to the words in books. Students will learn to read text from left to right, one word after another, with one-to-one correspondence. They'll also draw on their growing knowledge of high-frequency words and of the alphabetic code to read familiar patterned books. In  \u003ci\u003eUnit 3, Super Powers: Reading with Phonics and Sight Word Power\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll rally kids to do the hard work of decoding. They will learn to use new superpowers: “slider power”—the ability to slide through the sounds of words and blend them back together, “think power” to notice and wonder about the content of what they are reading, and “fix-it power,” which helps kids look closely at a challenging word and check to make sure it makes sense. Throughout  \u003ci\u003eUnit 4, Boosting Reading Power\u003c\/i\u003e, students will continue to build on the superpowers they attained in the first three units. You'll help give these powers a “turbo boost” to help young readers tackle texts with greater complexity. Finally, in  \u003ci\u003eUnit 5, Becoming Avid Readers\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll build upon and celebrate the journey students have taken since the start of the year. Students will leave Foundation with a love of reading that is strong enough to propel them into the start of Grade 1. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eGrade K Unit Titles\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWe Are Readers (Unit 1)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eShared Reading (Unit 2)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSuper Powers: Reading with Phonics and Sight Word Power (Unit 3)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBoosting Reading Power (Unit 4)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eBecoming Avid Readers (Unit 5)\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e  The new primary  \u003ci\u003eUnits of Study in Reading and Writing\u003c\/i\u003e represent wholesale changes.
