READING AND WRITING
what we are learning in reading and writing:
reading foundational skillsStudents will know and apply grade-level phonics and word
analysis skills in decoding words. Students will also read on-grade level text with purpose, accuracy and understanding. |
reading fiction & non-fictionstudents will read widely and deeply from among a broad range of high-quality, increasingly challenging literary and informational texts. Through extensive reading of stories, drama, poems and myths from diverse cultures and different time periods, students gain literary and cultural knowledge as well as familiarity with various text structures and elements.
|
writing craftStudents will compose a variety of text (opinion, informative, and narrative) that supply reasons and/or facts and provide a sense of closure. students will conduct research projects to build knowledge about a topic. With guidance and support from peers and adults, students will develop and strength writing as needed by planning, revision, and editing.
