 READING
AND LANGUAGE ARTS
The following disciplines fit under this heading:
Handwriting, Spelling, Phonics, English, Writing, Journalizing, Reading
(both orally and silently), Comprehension of what is read. A large portion of our
curriculum, and therefore our day, is devoted to this subject. Students will develop
dramatically in these areas throughout this year. In handwriting they
will review the entire manuscript alphabet and be introduced to the cursive alphabet.
Spelling words will gradually become more difficult. The students' understanding of proper
English, both when speaking and when writing, will improve. Students will increase their
ability to write creative stories as well as letters, reports, or factual information. The
students' ability to read longer passages and comprehension of their reading will improve
as well.
