Mastering First Grade Skills
Mastering Skills takes a fresh approach to the mastery of grade-specific skills. Each book uses a wide range of activities to spark students' interest in learning. As students complete activities, they develop skills they need to meet academic standards in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. Both teachers and parents can use the books to introduce new concepts, to assess learning and skill development, and to reinforce familiar knowledge. Versatile activities can be used for individual practice, test preparation, or homework assignments. Complete answer keys are provided. The activities target standards in these areas: phonetic analysis - letter/sound, vowels and blends, conventions in writing, sentence construction, properties of whole numbers, problem solving, measurement, map skills, and characteristics of matter.
