Reading Informational Text is one of four domains included in the First Grade ELA standards. Throughout each standard, students can expect to learn concepts like:
- Finding the main idea in different texts
- Establishing connections between people, places, and ideas in texts
- Asking and answering questions to find the meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases
- Identifying the author’s purpose in different texts
- Comparing and contrasting two texts of the same topic
With the support of eSpark Learning, students can enhance their learning at the rate of 1.5 times faster than their peers. Every activity — from instructional videos, learning songs, games, and read-a-longs — is carefully aligned to each standard, ensuring first-graders stay on track to meet their goals established by the Common Core.
eSpark Learning also helps teachers create a more engaging curriculum and provide individualized learning where necessary. With progress monitoring for each activity, teachers can gain a better understanding of each student and their comprehension of lessons and standards.
