Concepts of Print presentations for Grade 1 students provide essential foundational instruction in understanding how written language works and functions. These teacher-created presentations available through Wayground deliver structured instruction on fundamental literacy concepts including book orientation, directionality of text, spacing between words, and the relationship between spoken and written language. Through visual learning approaches and concept explanation, these presentations help young learners develop critical pre-reading skills such as recognizing that text carries meaning, understanding left-to-right progression, identifying the front and back of books, and distinguishing between letters, words, and sentences. The presentations systematically build students' awareness of print conventions while supporting their transition from emergent readers to more confident beginning readers. Wayground's extensive collection of millions of teacher-created presentations enables educators to find targeted Concepts of Print resources that align with Grade 1 learning standards and diverse classroom needs. The platform's robust search and filtering capabilities allow teachers to locate presentations that match specific print awareness objectives, whether introducing basic book handling skills or reinforcing more advanced concepts like punctuation recognition. These digital-first presentations offer flexible delivery options that support whole-group instruction, small-group intervention, and individual practice sessions. Teachers can customize and differentiate the content to accommodate varying skill levels within their classrooms, using these presentations for initial concept introduction, skill remediation for struggling learners, or enrichment activities that deepen understanding of print conventions and prepare students for more advanced literacy instruction.
