English

Many of the students in my classroom have excellent decoding skills. This means they can read or sound out the words correctly. However, the main concern is that the students cannot comprehend what they have read. We are working on specific comprehension skills in English this year. These skills include main idea, story sequence, details, vocabulary, etc.

We also work on reading and understanding labels from medicine, household products, and food items. Students are required to answer questions about the labels and show where on the label they found the information.

We will begin working on a variety of applications to help students improve the ability to share personal information in an appropriate way. Correct information and neatness will be our focus.
