An Introduction to 5th Grade

 

Students in grade 5 extend their critical reading and writing skills to proficiently read grade-appropriate complex literature, informational text, and mixed media. Instruction focuses on use of text evidence, summarizing, paraphrasing, and engaging in collaborative conversation. Students analyze texts for literary elements with a focus on figurative language, author’s purpose, and structure. Students continue to practice the writing process by writing narrative, informative (grade level focus mode), and opinion pieces incorporating grade level grammar concepts such as sentence structure. Students expand their personal and academic vocabulary they can use in their writing and speaking by studying Greek and Latin roots and distinguishing among multiple meaning words in complex text. Students develop stamina for longer periods of independent reading and writing.

Eight Recursive Standards
By nature, literacy knowledge and skills are recursive learning endeavors:  students revisit concepts again and again as they learn to read and write at increasingly sophisticated levels throughout their academic career. This description and purpose of the recursive nature of the eight overarching standards provide a visual representation of this process.

Objective Analysis

Standard level descriptors including analysis for each grade-level objective is provided in a manner to support deep understanding. Visit the Overview of Objective Analysis to learn about the purpose, layout, and design.

Student Proficiency Levels

Instructional development of skills at each objective level is provided for each reading strand by standards. These levels are guidance for classroom teachers to identify student actions at varying stages of progression at the objective level. Here you will also find instructional guidance resources for students at the developing, approaching, and understanding level. These resources can be used as a springboard for instructional practices.
