Students will continue building strong reading skills while growing in confidence and understanding.

Students will work on:

1. Reading fluency and accuracy – reading smoothly, accurately, and with confidence.

2. Phonics and word reading – using letter sounds and word-reading skills to read new words.

3. Vocabulary – learning new words and understanding what they mean.

4. Reading comprehension – understanding what they read, remembering details, and answering questions.

5. Literary understanding – exploring characters, settings, events, and important details in stories.

6. Language and sentence skills – strengthening sentence understanding and language skills.

7. Written responses – responding to what they read using words and sentences.

Throughout Workbook A, students will review and practice previously learned skills while gradually becoming more independent readers.
