CAFE Year at a Glance for Kindergarten and 1st grade


#1

Hi there,
I am changing grades to teach a 1/2 day of Kindergarten and a 1/2 day of 1st grade for the subjects of LA and SS. I really hope someone has a year long plan with CAFE strategies mapped out on it. If so, I would love to download an editable copy and use it as a starting point for my plans.

Thanks!

Here is a response given to another question raised about the order of the strategies. Also, if you look at the Launching lessons under each category on the main page, that will go a long way in helping you get going.

“Have you heard or read about the Sisters’ rule of 6-5-4-3? Basically, it means the first 6 comprehesion strategies, the first 5 accuracy, first 4 fluency and first 3 vocabulary strategies are the ones everyone needs, so that narrows down a bit which ones to be sure to start with. Just keep in mind that your different strategy groups and individuals will need different lessons after you assess throughout the year.”
