Language Arts: Reading Fifth graders will travel to other lands, other times, or just around the block while reading the character- building stories in their three readers. While reading classic stories of foreign lands, other time periods, great achievers, inventors, and men and women who made America great, young readers are introduced to a variety of literature and provided with a rich literary heritage. A Christian fiction novel and a biographical novel will be used for language book reports. Two speed and comprehension readers will whet students’ appetites for a wider range of reading, while they challenge each student to learn how to read quickly for information, with a strong emphasis on comprehension.
