Intermediate Reading

Quality fiction and nonfiction literature is used in grades 5-12.  Students work with literature circle book groups, writer’s workshop, independent book choices with project presentations, author studies, reader’s theater, picture books, test taking strategies, and real life reading strategies to enhance “thinking while reading.”  Many of the books are connected to social studies and or science content and read aloud books are also used to model strategies.  The variety of literature is extremely motivating, and students are assessed with a variety of activities, including daily observation.
