Language Arts

The language arts program in the fifth grade is designed to teach students the content of language and literature and extend and refine their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Students refine the use of these skills to learn content in other disciplines such as science, social studies, mathematics, and the arts. Students in the fifth grade read a wide range of texts for a variety of purposes using Treasures, novels, National Geographic, and Time for Kids. They explore the genres of realistic and historical fiction, poetry, fables, drama, biography, folklore, mystery, and fantasy. Students in fifth grade learn to write more effectively and understand what they read at increasingly difficult levels. Students practice their reading skills through the use of the published reading series as well as through novels, magazines, newspapers, and textbooks in all content areas.
