Do Kindergarten students learn how to read?
The Language Arts program includes the Open Court phonics based instruction and is supplemented with guided reading activities that expose students to words, poems, and stories. If a student is developmentally ready, these classroom experiences will give them the skills to begin to read in Kindergarten. Most Kindergarten students are beginning readers by the end of the year. However, some students need a little extra time and don’t begin reading until first grade.
