Academic Areas:

 

Reading and Language Houghton-Mifflin

Reading skills stress vocabulary development and comprehension.  Skills are emphasized both orally and in written work.  Language focuses on word usage, sentence structure, and paragraph writing.

 

Spelling

A pre-test is given on Mondays.  Each student has a list of the words for the next ten weeks.  I have also included a list of words with this packet.  Spelling tests will be given on Fridays. Should your child earn 100% on his or her spelling pretest then, your child will be excused from spelling homework and the final test for that week.
