Welcome to 1st grade Champions!
I am very happy that you are visiting the site. Within this site, you will find multiple tools and
pages to help you understand the literacy development your child will undergo during first grade,
an explanation of what some of the terms teachers or the school system may use, and explanation
of the apps you have access to and can use at home to help you child gain a solid foundation
in reading!
I am glad that you have taken an interest in your child's learning. Research shows that parental
involvement, and a strong school-parent partnership lay the foundation for students' academic success
(Marrow & Young, 1995, p. 741). Furthermore, the research found "that many of their students were beginning to show greater interest in reading and writing and that some were also improving in their literacy skills." (Marrow & Young, 1995, p. 741).
As you navigate the website I hope that you will gain a greater understanding of the following:
1. The first grade reading, writing, and oral language standards of learning.
2. The standardized tests that are given to your student.
3. The resources available to you to assist your student's literacy development.
