More About Michigan’s Literacy Essentials

Lessons

These lessons and activity sheets help students build literacy skills through word-building lessons, read-alouds, writing exercises, exploring informational text, and more. Parents and educators can use these resources to build on what students are covering in school, as extra practice on key topics, and as fun activities to break up the day.

Getting Ready to ROAR!

Pre-K Lessons

This collection for our youngest learners is set in a Michigan preschool where kids explore the world around them and learn new vocabulary and patterns that help them prepare for reading and writing in school. Students will love meeting community helpers, seeing foods and objects they are familiar with, and getting excited about school through this series.
