Children in first grade understand that there is meaning in printed words. They develop strategies to help them remember what they’ve read. They make predictions about books and summarize what they’ve just read. Teachers encourage lots of class discussions so students can communicate with one another about the books they’re reading. They learn to describe a story in terms of “who," "what," "where" and how.” First graders start with smaller passages and then build with time and practice.
