ONE YEAR CLASS:
Reading requires an active, discriminating mind that is challenged to think, compare, and contrast. Children who are asked to read slightly above their comfort level will develop into superior readers. This course will use a classic novel (The Wind in the Willows) and a companion student guide focused on vocabulary, spelling, comprehension, and composition skills. Students will learn to identify literary elements, increase their ability to organize and express their thoughts, using text
evidence and develop their ability to synthesize quoted material into a written argument in essay form. Their will be quizzes throughout the year to test their learning.
