Adventures in Literature

5th Grade

This week we got a lot done in our chapter books. Students are enjoying the story, and we got to try Turkish Delight!

Next week we are going to do a mini unit on Author's Purpose. Students will be learning about reasons an author choses to write and clue words to help determine the purpose.

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.

This week we got a great start on our new book. Students are enjoying getting to know the characters and the start of the conflict of the story.

Next week we are going to do a mini unit on Author's Purpose. Students will be learning about reasons an author choses to write and clue words to help determine the purpose.

Note: I would encourage you to have your student reading at least 20–30 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.
