Each lesson we will learn new vocabulary words, character development, theme, author's purpose, and use different strategies to help improve reading comprehension. Students will be asked to read approximately 10 pages a day outside of class and should be ready to discuss topics from the assigned text. If time allows, we may read aloud/along in class but this is optional.
