ELA (Reading & Language Arts) Information

We use Reading Wonders to teach reading, writing, grammar, and spelling. Our reading series is composed of 6 Units and each Unit is divided into 6 weeks.

 We will focus on a comprehension skill and strategy, vocabulary strategy, grammar and phonics skill(s), and a spelling pattern 5 days.

The students will have two different reading books. The smaller book is called the Reading/ Writing Workshop book.  We will use this book in class, during our Daily 5 stations, and it will come home weekly for your child to practice their reading fluency and comprehension.

The second book is larger and is not sent home as frequently as the Reading/Writing Workshop book. This book provides a lengthier story with more difficult vocabulary and sentence structure. We use this book also in class and during our Daily 5 stations.

I strongly encourage you to use the Reading Wonders  website. This website provides you access to all the stories and skills the students are practicing for the current week.
