Adventures in Literature

Mrs. McIlhargey - amcilhargey@grovecitychristian.org

5th Grade

This week we did our MAP testing and continued reading in our books. We are almost finished!

The last two weeks of school we will be finishing our books and taking a test over them. We will continue to review our literature terms and we will be voting on character awards for all of the characters we have met in our books this year!

Note: I would encourage you to have your student reading at least 10–20 minutes a night. Many studies have shown how much reading skills are improved by nightly reading. Also, please occasionally have them read out loud to you or to a family member or even a stuffed animal. When students get the opportunity to read out loud, it helps with fluency. Fluency is key in helping students with comprehension.
