30-Week
Scope & Sequence PreK-TK
Early Literacy
With Seesaw Early Literacy, our mission is to foster joyful learning opportunities for both educators and students alike. We hope that these lessons not only supplement your teaching but also inspire a love for early literacy in your students. Together, let’s embark on a journey of exploration, discovery, and meaningful engagement in the world of literacy.
Seesaw Early Literacy’s Prek-TK 30-week scope and sequence is organized from high-utility to low-utility letters and sound-spelling patterns. It builds upon the simplest to most complex skills, ensuring a strategic progression in literacy development that is guided by the principle that many words can be formed as early as possible (Blevins, 2017).
This scope and sequence of lessons is thoughtfully crafted to align with the dynamic needs of teachers’ classrooms. Within this framework, teachers are encouraged to explore and select any of the lessons listed for a particular week, allowing the freedom to tailor their instruction to best meet instructional objectives and students’ needs. Whether teachers prefer whole-class engagement, collaborative partner activities, interactive small group centers, individualized review work, or any other pedagogical approach, these lessons can be seamlessly integrated into a teacher’s existing curriculum.
