ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS Cont.
COMPREHENSION
Comprehension strategies include predicting, visualizing, questioning,
inferences, identifying main ideas, summarizing, and monitoring and revising
comprehension.
VOCABULARY
As students read a variety of inclusive texts, they build and develop a command
on their vocabulary and learn to vary and adapt their sentence structure,
organizational approach and voice to suit their purpose.
WRITING
Writing competence develops hand in hand with skills in other areas of
language, especially reading. We believe that writing helps students to better
understand their own thoughts and feelings and events in their own lives.
Students are taught how to organize their thoughts, remember important
information, solve problems, reflect on a widening range of perspectives, and
learn how to communicate effectively for specific purposes and audiences.
SPELLING
The students identify and spell words with long and short vowel sounds, four-
letter and five-letter words, words with digraphs (e.g. ee, ea, ai, ay, ch, tch, sh,
e.t.c), words with letter patterns (e.g. str, scr, spr, e.t.c), words with CVC, VCCV,
VCCCV, V/CV and VC/V patterns.
GRAMMAR
The students identify and write types of sentences, complete and simple
subjects and predicates, compound subjects and predicates, compound
sentences, common and proper nouns, abbreviations, singular and plural nouns,
possessive nouns, pronouns, subject and object pronouns, pronoun-antecedent
agreements, prepositions, articles, adjectives, punctuation, verbs, irregular
verbs, action and linking verbs, main and helping verbs and contractions.
