Overview:
Students will continue to develop their reading, writing, and speaking and listening skills in order to understand, analyze, and respond to complex informational and literary texts in a variety of genres that explore aspects of the human condition.

Students will have access to quality texts during whole-class and small-group settings. Meaningful texts, use of standards, and ongoing assessment will be integrated with each component of ELA instruction.
