Kindergarten Curriculum

Reading

Students develop strong comprehension and vocabulary skills by engaging with high-quality contemporary literature and classic works. Instruction is based on the Spalding Method and supplemented with McGraw Hill Wonders anthologies and approved literature studies. Students participate in Silent Sustained Reading (SSR) daily and are encouraged to read at home. Throughout the year, students complete three to four detailed book reports to strengthen critical thinking skills. Books must be teacher-approved, and previous titles may not be repeated.

Composition

Students learn to express their understanding by composing structured sentences and paragraphs. They explore different writing styles, including narrative, informative, persuasive, and argumentative, aligned to grade-level expectations. Using rubrics and checklists, students are encouraged to be creative while maintaining high standards for grammar, spelling, punctuation, and neatness.

Oral Communication

Students practice listening and speaking skills through memorization and recitation of quality poetry, prose, and historical selections such as excerpts from the U.S. Constitution. These exercises build fluency, expression, and public speaking confidence. Typically, students in grades K–5 memorize and present one piece each grading period, evaluated against clear performance criteria.

Spelling

Spelling instruction follows the Spalding Method, a phonics-based approach that emphasizes daily written and oral phonogram practice. Students build strong foundations in phonics, manuscript, and cursive handwriting.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary development is integrated across reading, writing, and spelling. Students learn precise definitions, practice using academic vocabulary in writing, and build comprehension through dictionary and reference skills.

Mathematics

enVision Math focuses on deep conceptual math understanding aided by visual models, student-centered projects, and personalized learning. Lessons progress from introduction to more complex usage.
