Holy Family’s First Grade uses the SRA Open Court Reading and Phonics program. Our goal in First Grade is for all the children to be reading fluently by the end of their first grade year. This is a cooperative program that involves both parents and teachers. We use memorization of basic sight words with a strong phonics program, incorporating both techniques in the reading curriculum. To accommodate each child’s learning style, we divide the class into small reading groups and a resource teacher is available to help teach our reading curriculum. This is an award winning reading and phonics program that has proven to be very successful for the first grade students in our school.
