Kindergarten Reading & Writing

For Kindergarten, we currently have curricula for Reading, Writing, Math, and Social Studies. All curricula have been aligned to the Texas TEKS.

We have also provided a sample lesson Roadmap for each of the curricula. Unit Roadmaps are “hierarchical” – and thus one Roadmap can expand and expand until the actual student lesson is reached. Note that the sample Roadmaps will open inside the Collabrify Roadmap Center. Thus, please make sure you have created an account for yourself at https://roadmap.center – please see the Need Help? tab for further assistance.

 ELAR Roadmaps Overview 

The English Language Arts Curricula are aligned with the Texas ELAR TEKS and are based on the Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators (MIASA) units and Lucy Calkin's workshops.
