Rationale
Rationale for the selection of priority objectives is based on the Five Pillars of Reading.
Linking performance objectives are scaffolded to guide the student’s toward mastery of priority objective(s). Each quarter a variety of genres
of both expository text and literary elements are spiraled and clustered to increase skill rigor according to blooms taxonomy. Mastery of these
objectives is critical and will help prepare students for second grade.
As a team, we have determined a number of recurring concepts and performance objectives that are to be integrated throughout the year to
support student mastery. These recurring performance objectives are listed in the Preamble.
