6th Grade Reading and Literature
We have began reading a lesson 6: "The Boy Who Saved Baseball" in the Journeys series. This realistic fiction story's target skills are: theme, metaphor, and understanding characters. The vocabulary strategy is using context. The test over lesson 6 will be 1/14. We will then skip ahead to lesson 18 for a social studies tie-in story.
We spend time reading from the Journeys series as well as reading longer chapter books (both novels and nonfiction works). I also strive to provide independent reading time in the classroom.
We will soon be working on setting 3rd quarter AR goals. Students should be reading about 30 minutes a day most days of the week (between home and school). Remember that maintaining an accuracy of 85% or higher for the quarter is part of their goal in the upper grades.
