6th Grade Reading and Literature
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 are currently reading Lesson 6, "The Boy Who Saved Baseball," in the Journeys book. This realistic fiction text has target skills of theme, metaphor, and understanding characters. The vocabulary strategy is using context to understand words. The test is tentatively set for Friday, October 19.
Students should be reading 20 minutes daily to work toward their 1st quarter AR goals. Students should be about 95% of the way to their points goal and be maintaining an 85% or higher accuracy.
