5th Grade Reading
Reading skills are critical in all subject areas. Reading classes meet
daily to discuss fiction and non-fiction. Teachers incorporate materials
from an integrated language arts program, trade books and other literary
selections.
6th Grade
Reading
Sixth grade reading curriculum promotes the development of content area
reading skills and the love of reading through "real" books,
newspapers, magazines, and other publications. Assignments include journal
writing, silent reading, reading aloud, reviewing books and many
activities coordinated with language arts.
8th Grade
Reading in the
Content Area
Reading in the Content Area develops students’ reading strategies
while encouraging students to read and discuss books with issues that are
pertinent to the science and mathematics curricula, and to themes in
American social history. Eight core texts will be supplemented with
readings from current scientific journals, newspapers, excerpts from
appropriate video material, and books on topics chosen by the students
themselves.
