They will practice organizing their ideas with cause‑effect language and supporting their claim with specific details.

Students will identify both explicit and implied central ideas in short written scenarios and explain how those ideas develop throughout the paragraph. They will practice supporting their statements with textual evidence, using provided sentence starters to structure their responses.

Students will identify the meanings of common prefixes (im‑, non‑, dis‑, in‑, pre‑) and suffixes (‑ness, ‑y, ‑ful) and accurately apply them to interpret or create words in context. They will demonstrate this skill by explaining word meanings and writing original sentences using the target affixes.

Students will identify and apply key comprehension-monitoring strategies such as re‑reading, using background knowledge, asking questions, and annotating. They will be able to choose the correct strategy for a given reading situation and explain why each strategy helps maintain understanding.
