Planning & Pacing
Scholar Zone Summer Reading & Writing is composed of three units. A unit generally spans two weeks, with four days of instruction per week, and a 90-minute literacy block each day. The 90-Minute Literacy Block Each day is divided into four sections. Whole-Group Instruction (30 minutes): During whole-group instruction, you’ll lead a Read-Aloud based on the theme of the unit. Teacher-Led Reading Instruction (2 rotations; 20 minutes each): Children will meet with you for reading instruction. Letters and Sounds/Sight Words/Vocabulary and Book Club Library (2 rotations; 20 minutes each): Children will do Letters and Sounds/Sight Words/Vocabulary activities and read four Book Club Library books about the unit theme. Writing (20 minutes): Each unit will focus on a form of writing—informative/explanatory and narrative. In the writing activities that follow, children will write in the selected form to respond to books from the unit.
