English SOL Enhanced Scope and Sequence for Grades K–5 Introduction The English Standards of Learning Enhanced Scope and Sequence is a resource intended to help teachers align their classroom instruction with the content found in English Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools, adopted by the Board of Education in November 2002. The Enhanced Scope and Sequence is organized by the strands established in the English Standards of Learning, and it includes the content of the Standards of Learning and the essential understandings, knowledge, and skills found in the 2003 English Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework. In addition, the Enhanced Scope and Sequence provides teachers with sample lesson plans aligned with the standards and their related essential understandings, knowledge, and skills. School divisions and teachers can use the Enhanced Scope and Sequence as a resource for developing sound curricular and instructional programs. These materials are intended as examples of ways the understandings, knowledge, and skills might be presented to students in sample lessons that have been aligned with the Standards of Learning. Teachers who use the Enhanced Scope and Sequence should correlate available instructional resources with the essential understandings, knowledge, and skills and determine an appropriate pace of instruction. This resource is not a complete curriculum and is neither required nor prescriptive, but it can be a valuable instructional tool.

Virginia Department of Education 2004 2 GRADE-LEVEL INFORMATION by Organizing Topics English SOL Enhanced Scope and Sequence for Grades K–5: ORAL LANGUAGE Strand Organizing Topic → Oral Communication Kindergarten In kindergarten, students engage in a variety of oral activities in order to develop their understanding of language and enhance their ability to communicate effectively. Oral language skills are taught and reinforced throughout the year across all curricular areas. Emphasis is on having the students build and use their listening and speaking vocabularies through participation in oral language activities employing poems, rhymes, songs, and narrative and expository text. This vocabulary development is essential in reading and comprehension skills as students progress in school. Students also learn the rules for conversation and skills for participating in discussions. Daily listening and speaking opportunities, both formal and informal, should be a part of every kindergarten English program.
