Students will be going to our computer lab once a week. They will work on skills using the Easy Tech program which is part of our computer program and apply those skills throughout the curriculum also. They will learn computer basics, keyboarding, graphics, word processing, and more!
Reading Curriculum
We participate in the "Success For All" Reading program at Lackland. Students will learn decoding skills, reading fluency (speed, automaticity, smoothness, and expression), comprehension strategies, vocabulary development, critical analysis, and literature appreciation. Oral and written language will be reinforced through the completion of Treasure Hunt comprehension questions, creating Meaningful Sentences, Adventures in Writing, story tests, Team Talks (discussion of story parts), and Book Clubs. Comprehension strategies include clarification, summarization, questioning, and prediction.
Specific skills are geared for the appropriate reading level.
By the end of the first grade school year, students should be able to fluently read at least 60 words per minute.
