Course Information

Reading and 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, enriches vocabulary, and strengthens memory and expression.

Through exposure to good literature, students learn to identify characters, follow simple plots, recognize details, and discern the moral or purpose of a story. Emphasis is placed on reading aloud with confidence, completing books, and fostering a lasting love of reading.

In the Online Language Arts 1 course, the reader supports an integrated study of foundational reading and language skills.
