Language

Next week we will be starting a new program called Language. It will encompass all the components of Language Arts and Reading. Students will start each day with a phonics lesson which will help with decoding words and reading fluency. Then they will do a spelling and grammar lesson. Next students will work on reading comprehension strategies. Finally they will have a writing lesson where they will apply their grammar skills while responding to the literature they have read. Our goal is to improve students' reading comprehension and fluency skills. Our winter MAPS scores will help us with this assessment. We look forward to piloting this new program.
