ELA- Second 9 weeks
Each unit in Reading Street focuses on a Big Idea that connects learning. Daily instruction continues to build strong foundation of reading skills in phonemic awareness, alphabetic principles, fluency with text, vocabulary and comprehension. Students build knowledge that is deep and transferable each week as they explore one aspect of the unit concept. Throughout each unit, students are exposed to a story from various genres as well as a Paired Selection which strengthens understanding in either science or social studies.
