Reading instruction will focus on the newly adopted Common Core State Standards.
In reading both literature and informational text, students strengthen their knowledge of the strategies of reading, including schema (using background knowledge, making connections), questioning, determining importance, inferring, creating visual images, monitoring meaning, and synthesizing information. These strategies help students to comprehend and analyze text.
Reading literature will center around literature response activities.
Reading informational text is integrated with science and social studies.
Book Clubs/Literature Circles allow small groups of students to read and discuss books relating to other areas of the curriculum, books of common interest, or books at a common reading level.
Reading resources may include teacher selected novels, student choice texts, Time for Kids, and the district adopted Houghton Mifflin textbook.
