Reading
We will read many exciting stories in class. Guided reading groups will enable the students to develop fluency and comprehension in reading, as well as learning new skills and strategies. Some of the skills that we focus on are: main idea and details, sequencing, author's purpose, genre, vocabulary in context, inferencing, and comparison/contrast. This year the student's will be encouraged to look more closely into the text to gain a complete understanding.
