Reading is a very important part of the 5th grade curriculum. We use the McGraw-Hill Reading Series. The series is divided into six overall themes, with individualized themes for each grade level. Overall themes for all grades include Experience, Connections, Expression, Inquiry, Problem-Solving, and Making Decisions. We use our reading skills in every subject, and we especially enjoy reading for pleasure. Click on the McGraw-Hill link to access extended lesson activities.
