Our reading goals focus on strengthening the students' ability to use skill specific strategies such as: making inferences, understanding cause and effect, finding main idea, and deciphering between fact and opinion.
Students will work with a variety of genres this year, including but not limited to:
Poetry
Fantasy/Mythology
Historical Fiction
Realistic Fiction
We will sometimes use a "centers-based" approach at times during our two-periods of ELA. This will allow all students the opportunity for very small group instruction, and allow students to explore a variety of ELA activities and skills at their own pace.
