Welcome to 7th Grade! I am thrilled to welcome all of you to our Team!
The 7th Grade Reading Program is based on the Core Curriculum Standards. We will cover all aspects of a strong literacy program – fiction, nonfiction, guided reading, independent reading, vocabulary, spelling, along with many additional strategies and skills.
We will focus on many aspects of writing this year: Narratives, Persuasive, Expository, Explanatory, Speculative, Letter Writing, and Research Writing Skills. Students will use the laptop, and paper and pencil to express themselves creatively throughout the year. Much of the writing is done in the classroom in order for me to best address their needs throughout the particular assignment. Students will be responsible for learning weekly Reading Skills, Spelling Words, Vocabulary, Grammar/Conventions as these components of the program are vital to building a sound academic foundation.
