Reading
This month, our reading focus is on informational texts. Students will learn how to find the main idea, recognize different text structures, and understand how media helps us learn more about a topic. They’ll also read narrative nonfiction and realistic fiction to help them grow as readers across different types of writing.
Writing
Writers are learning all about expository writing! We’re discovering how exciting it is to share what we know. Students are exploring the features of informative writing, such as clear main ideas, prewriting strategies (like brainstorming and graphic organizers) to plan their piece supporting details, and organized structure.
