ELA - Language, Reading, Spelling
The English Language Arts program in grade 5 covers the areas of English and Reading. English provides a strong basis in the mechanics of the language, looking at the function of sentence parts. We work on identifying and correctly using nouns, pronouns, verbs, and modifiers within the sentence. In addition, we learn proper punctuation, and types of sentences. We practice correct sentence structure and written expression. Reading explores different genres and elements of literature, focusing on building vocabulary, improving comprehension, identifying text structures, making inferences, identifying text features, using context clues, recognizing figurative language, synthesizing information from multiple sources, using text evidence, and following directions.
