“And so he was reading the story as if it were a spell and the words of it, spoken aloud, could make magic happen.”
― Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux
Throughout our experiences in English Language Arts, students will read, write, speak and listen as members of a collaborative learning community that values these skills equally for pleasure and purpose.
