Grades 3-5

 

Most students in these grades have language processes in place and are able to use them to learn about the world and to learn more about learning. Students will spend more time using language independently, although teacher support and direction is readily available. Teachers continue to demonstrate and model effective language usage and include more questions, suggestions, and opportunities for students to pursue areas of personal interest. Texts become increasingly longer and more complex. Writing tasks become more transactional as students move into writing that informs and affects broader audiences. Editing and formal speech are used to further strengthen the conventions of written and spoken English. As students move through this grade cluster, their ability to use language is expanded. They are capable of experiencing, remembering and using the texts they have encountered in various media. Independent and small group work is emphasized.
