  5. Reading • A mix of informational and fictional texts of different genres. • Text Based Questions will be used often to access student understanding where students will prove their answers from evidence in the text. To do this students will practice Close Reading. • Close Reading Strategies: a careful and purposeful re-reading of the text to search for purpose, structure, words, ideas, and flow of the text.

  6. Vocabulary • Vocabulary will come from all subject areas. • In ELA vocabulary words may be somewhat individualized as students will be annotating what they read and searching for new vocabulary. • Tier 2 words will be studied: Words that appear with high frequency, across a variety of domains, and are crucial when using mature, academic language (coincidence, reluctant, analysis).http://www.edutopia.org/blog/vocabulary-instruction-teaching-tips-rebecca-alber • Prefixes, root words, suffixes, analogies, and words in context will be studied.
