Corrected revised assessment workbooks
Use these revised 30-check workbooks for new instruction. Download the fillable student workbook, fourth edition | Download the fillable teacher workbook, second edition. The older ten-check PDFs remain archived for reference but are not the preferred alignment tools. These formative exercises do not establish mastery or state approval.
Academic correction: Use the corrected Alabama Standards 7 and 31 lettered-objective crosswalk before interpreting assessment alignment. The earlier provisional labels and the original ten-check workbook are not complete coverage evidence.
Printable and fillable assessment PDFs
Download the Grade 1 ELA student assessment workbook (10 pages, fillable) | Download the teacher answer and scoring workbook (10 pages, fillable). Both files include editable response fields; keep completed student records private.
Ten independent phonics and spelling transfer checks and teacher scoring guide are published. Record individual results privately; these tasks do not certify complete state-standard alignment.

Independent PDF file QA, November 11, 2026
The three consolidated PDF files were inspected from Ahava’s file library and matched to their WordPress media records. Student Reader: 11 pages, no interactive fields as intended. Teacher Companion: 11 pages, no interactive fields as intended. Ten-Week Fillable Assessment Packet: 11 pages and 72 interactive PDF text fields. A sample field in a test copy was completed, saved, reopened and visually checked; the text was retained. Covers and selected interior pages were rendered and inspected. This establishes structural checks and sampled visual QA, not a complete all-page or accessibility audit. Public HTTP download responses, mobile browser form behavior and screen-reader accessibility remain unverified. The seven older PDF attachments listed below have not received equivalent file-level inspection.
Public browser download verification, November 11, 2026
A public TinyFish browser inspection opened all seven older Grade 1 PDF routes: the combined Unit 1 workbook (4 pages), the five individual Unit 1 daily PDFs (one page each), and the Chapter 2 Practice workbook (5 pages). This verifies browser access only. The five daily PDFs and the exact live Chapter 2 PDF have NOT been confirmed to contain interactive PDF form fields. WordPress lists 42,074 bytes for the Chapter 2 file, while a separately inspected Library copy contains 67,070 bytes. Live PDF byte count was unavailable and these cannot be assumed identical. The Grade 1 homepage and navigator opened publicly. A student page timed out in one browser navigation, but later public page extraction successfully retrieved both student and teacher pages. Mobile rendering, assistive technology, and exact live form fields remain unverified.

Grade 1 ELA: Consolidated Teaching Sequence and Assessment Navigator
Updated November 11, 2026. This index organizes existing published Grade 1 English Language Arts and Reading Foundations lessons into a suggested ten-week instructional sequence. It is a navigation and assessment framework, not a new consolidated textbook, a verified 50-day comprehensive ELA course, or certification of every Alabama standard.
How to use each week
- Teach the Reading Foundations student lesson, then complete its practice and check the teacher guide. Use explicit modeling, guided reading, dictated spelling, and independent decoding.
- Teach the corresponding ELA chapter lesson, practice, and teacher assessment. Discuss meaning, writing and vocabulary as well as phonics.
- Add a short oral-language, handwriting, poetry or research task from the supplemental units according to readiness and gaps. The supplements can be distributed across weeks rather than rushed into a single day.
- On Day 5, assess unfamiliar word decoding, dictated spelling, text comprehension and one authentic writing or speaking task. Record adult support separately from independent evidence.
- Use results to reteach a skill and reassess with different words or a fresh passage. Keep student records private.
Ten-week teaching map
Curriculum map correction notice
Updated November 11, 2026: Weeks 3 through 10 now describe the actual published ELA chapter lessons, not unverified phonics topics. Reading Foundations units have their own separate skill sequence; their content and standards alignment must be reviewed independently. This ten-week map is an instructional index, not a certified scope-and-sequence or complete 50-day curriculum.

Assessment record template
- Phonemic awareness: record oral blending/segmenting/manipulation with the exact prompt and support level.
- Decoding: record correct unfamiliar words and the patterns attempted, without relying only on memorized word lists.
- Encoding: dictate new words and one sentence; separately score phoneme-grapheme correspondences and conventions.
- Comprehension: record literal, inferential and evidence-based responses to a new literary or informational passage.
- Writing: collect a narrative, opinion or informational sample as appropriate, scoring ideas, organization, sentence completeness, conventions and revision separately.
- Oral language: record listening for detail, relevant questions, vocabulary in context, turn-taking and an organized oral response.
- Research/digital: document first- and second-letter alphabetical order, accurate use of provided sources, revision using appropriate tools and private adult-supervised sharing.
Sample weekly teacher check
Use four new decodable words matching that week’s explicitly taught patterns, two dictated words, one dictated sentence, two passage questions and a brief writing or oral task. Record the actual items and the level of prompting. This is a sample teacher-designed check, not a standardized benchmark. A teacher must ensure passage difficulty and items are appropriate for the child’s instruction.
Completion and quality gates
- Map every Alabama Grade 1 ELA standard and applicable subpart to a lesson, independent student response, and scoring criterion. Do not mark coverage solely because a heading mentions the topic.
- Verify Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 direct navigation and review all 10-week lesson pairs for sequencing and overlap.
- Expand authentic poetry, independent text features, handwriting stroke guides, multi-draft composition and shared research across the full term.
- Produce and inspect dedicated student textbooks, printable and genuinely fillable practice PDFs, and complete teacher editions; do not call ordinary browser Print/Save as PDF a fillable form.
- Perform visitor-side mobile, desktop, keyboard, screen-reader, print, and download-link tests. Confirm privacy safeguards for child work.
- Obtain qualified educator content review and use independent student assessments before making mastery claims.
