Murphy Language Arts

Grades 6-9

Reader’s Workshop gives students the skills and close-reading strategies they need to actively engage with both fiction and non-fiction texts and improve comprehension and retention. Using the Notice and Note method, students will learn what key “signposts” to look for in a text, why these signposts are important, and what questions to ask themselves in order to delve further into the text and increase their understanding. We will read and discuss a variety of texts together while practicing close-reading strategies, and students will keep a reading journal to track their reflections and insights. This course will help your student to become a thoughtful, engaged reader and pairs will with our Writer’s Boot Camp.
