The language arts program is organized around a strong reading- writing connection. Instruction includes strategy/skills development, word work, vocabulary, grammar and analytical writing domains. We will be using ACTIVVE reading strategies to promote close reading and engagement with texts. We will focus on text dependent analysis which requires the student to analyze text and support their findings with direct evidence from the text. Students will be using the RACES model to outline their 5 paragraph TDA.
Students will be using an online program called Lexia Core 5. This program will help students improve their literacy skills through personalized instruction.
Students should read a "good fit" book nightly for 20 minutes.
