Sixth Grade Lit/LA
reading
Welcome, Oak Hill Fifth and Sixth Graders...Our goal is to continue to become thoughtful readers and writers...and to grow or rekindle our LOVE of reading... and writing, This year the sixth grade will focus on developing close reading skills to better understand complex texts. We'll delve deeply into fiction and nonfiction pieces to strengthen our comprehension and go further yet to discover the how and why of what we read. We'll also keep a writer's notebook to record responses to the characters we meet, themes that make an impression, and language that intrigues us...as well as use our notebook to brainstorm, store writing ideas, work on writing exercises, and keep journal entries...
In Reading as in Literature, we'll be strengthening our reading and writing skills while growing in empathy for the characters we encounter and growing in knowledge through our nonfiction reading.
