We are on a two-hour delay due to a slight chance of snow in the metroplex. I want to add lots of text here. Oral reading is practiced more to develop the skills of proper speed and inflection. Comprehension and discussion questions are more abstract, sparking deeper thought. There is a continued study of poetry. Composition builds on skills learned in fourth grade developing student’s ability to paraphrase a text. Oral reading is practiced more to develop the skills of proper speed and inflection.
