Reading/Language Arts Information
Our Reading Series is called Journeys which can be accessed through the Think Central website listed on the "Website" page. As the year progresses, we will be reading chapter books rather than using our Journeys book.
As a class we usually go over the vocabulary words and story on Monday and then read the story again before Friday's test. Students are encouraged at home or in school during our FAB 4 rotations to listen to the story again using the "Think Central" website. Click on this button on the "Website" page.
Every week a new vocabulary packet is handed out whether we read a story for Journeys or a chapter book. Within this packet is a parent letter explaining what we will be focusing on during our stories for the week as well as the definitions for each vocabulary word. Please help your child master these words for the end of the week test.
Reading tests will usually be given on a Friday unless otherwise noted. This test may include vocabulary words and comprehension questions .
Grammar and Writing will be incorporated throughout our Reading Lessons; however, each homeroom teacher will be responsible for covering these standards and giving the grades on the progress report. Sometimes students will work on a longer piece of writing taking them through the whole Writing Process until they are ready to publish.
