This year, our primary focus is to push our students towards mastery of written and spoken English. I teach a 2-hour block of English involving:
- Reading - fluency, phonics, and comprehension
- Grammar - parts of speech and sentence construction
- Writing - applying the concepts of grammar to a certain purpose (to inform, entertain, or persuade)
- Oral Language and English Vocabulary - listening, speaking, and building the number of usable and understandable English words
