ELA recommendations for grade 1?


Recommended Posts

It looks like DC (grade 1) will be working on Math Mammoth, and we do not worry about the Math progression. On the other hand, we are completely lost WRT what to use for ELA.

 

I've looked at the Easy Grammar (thanks to a mention by EndOfOrdinary) and liked it, but it is way too advanced for now. So I'm looking for something much simpler, starting from the very beginning, and will appreciate suggestions.

 

DC can progress quickly, but is not self-driven to learn things like grammar.

 

DC reads easily, and can read technical texts if they have high practical value, like 'Minecraft Redstone' books, with good understanding, while preferring 'fun short books' when reading for fun.

 

We have an Amazon Kindle, so some Kindle apps may be of use, probably as an additional resource.

We started Michael Clay Thompson's Island level as a young 2nd grader.

 

A child already reading to learn (rather than learning to read) and with no prior grammar instruction would be perfectly placed for this, IMO.

 

If the writing assignments are too much for your DC in the beginning, you could revisit Island for a second run through just for the writing assignments.
