In this club, the students will enhance both their reading and writing skills. The mechanics of writing (capitalization, punctuation, and correct usage) will be emphasized as well as the parts of speech. Persuasive and descriptive paragraphs and short compositions will be included in their portfolios. The students will be able to stand in front of the class and proudly read an original piece of writing.
In reading the students will build their comprehension skills by becoming stronger in the following skill areas: fact & opinion, compare and contrast, context clues, predicting, main idea & details as well as inference. They will also read and act out simple plays, which will help build confidence in speaking before an audience.
