RtI Reading

The RtI reading classes will be focusing on narrative writing and reading a science article.

For narrative writing, the students will read and analyze a personal narrative. These activities are an extension of the lesson being taught in language arts and reading. The students will be making sure the personal narrative contains the following:
*a beginning, middle, and end to the event
*includes real events, people, and places
*uses specific details that let the reader "see and fee" what's happening
*expresses the writer's feelings

While reading the science article, the students will be focusing on cause and effect as well as interpreting the information available in a science article. Students will practice reading diagrams and explaining the information in the text. They will use the title and labels in the diagram to help them know what the article is about.
