In fifth grade, we read a wide range of fiction, nonfiction, classic, and contemporary works. Our goal is to build an understanding of texts and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; and to respond to the needs and demands of society and the workplace. Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts. They read a wide range of literature in many genres from a variety of time periods and cultures from around the world to build an understanding of the many dimensions of human experience. As students explore text they draw on their prior experience, their interactions with other readers and writers, and the reading skills that they have developed and refined.
The key resource we use to build literacy skills in fifth grade is our reading textbook. It contains a large variety of stories, articles, essays, and poems that your child will enjoy. Students are encourage to preview, read, and reread the stories that we cover in our reading book at home. To access any of reading book, follow the steps listed below.
