Course Information
Reading & Literature 1 introduces young students to reading as a natural and joyful way of learning. Using carefully selected texts, including Catholic National Readers, classic fairy tales, saint stories, and beloved literary works, the course strengthens phonics skills while steadily developing vocabulary and reading comprehension.
Students participate in guided and independent reading, listen to classic literature read aloud, and practice retelling stories in their own words. Poetry develops patterns of language while enriching vocabulary, memory, and expression.
Through good literature, students learn to identify characters, follow simple plots, recognize important details, and discern the moral or purpose of a story. The course emphasizes reading aloud with confidence, completing books, and fostering a lasting love of reading.
