English Language Arts for Grade 5 focuses on five key areas: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Grammar, and Vocabulary.

In Reading, students develop detailed comprehension skills through discussions, illustrations, character studies, and text revisions. They learn to analyze texts by seeking evidence to support their ideas, making inferences, and responding personally to books and passages.

In Writing, students practice both factual and creative expression. They learn to craft opinion pieces on various topics or texts, supporting their viewpoints with reasons and information, while also developing narratives based on real or imagined experiences and events.

Speaking and Listening activities focus on collaborative discussions, whether one-on-one, in groups, or teacher-led. These discussions encourage students to build on others’ ideas and express their own clearly, enhancing their communication skills.

Grammar study is woven into reading and writing activities or addressed through contextualized exercises. The aim is to help students recognize the role of grammar and mechanics in everyday texts and improve their own language use.

Vocabulary expansion is supported through weekly spelling activities and reading tasks. Students refine their word-decoding strategies by using context clues and analyzing roots, prefixes, and suffixes to understand new words. This comprehensive approach helps strengthen their overall language proficiency.
