A vocabulary and comprehension test will be given over each story read. Skills such as context clues, main idea, character descriptions, vocabulary, etc., will be studied. Tests will be posted in advanced to study (check homework journals nightly to see if there is homework or upcoming test dates). Remember this is a year that we are going from learning to read to reading to learn. A minimum of two novels will be read this year. More information on that will come later.
