This course is designed to help students develop reading, literature, writing, and comprehension skills. Students read stories of various genres and understand the niches of identifying the main idea, theme, and other elements of story. Reading also encompasses understanding the author's purpose, analyzing the different points of view, and the importance of pictures and illustrations in texts. Strategies to improve vocabulary such as understanding prefixes and suffixes, word analogies, use of transitions, and connotation and denotation help students showcase their writing skills in different genres. Punctuation, pronouns and types, sentence patterns, etc. are also given emphasis in this course.
