Literary reading skills are above basic and key reading skills to the point where students grasp texts in all their complexity. It is reading between lines in order to discover levels of meaning and develop meaningful interpretations.
In this class, students will:
(1) Review Basic Reading (imagining, responding, skimming)
(2) Learn Reflective Reading (selecting, scanning, tracking)
(3) Learn Analytical Reading (Interpreting, analyzing)
(4) Write a critical analysis style essay
(5) Build vocabulary/syntax throughout the reading
(6) Create a unique, critical essay with correct logical structure and grammar
This class is designed with a one-year curriculum for Grade 5-6 students. The class will use various books on different terms throughout the year. Sunshine will provide an Ecopy of the books used in class or free rental of the hard copy of the book whenever possible.
