Students establish classroom reading routines and learn to respond thoughtfully to a range of short texts, including short stories, poems, nonfiction selections, visual texts, and Indigenous perspectives. They will distinguish personal response from textual evidence, make connections among texts and lived experiences, generate questions, infer meaning, and participate respectfully in collaborative conversations. Instruction emphasizes active reading strategies such as predicting, visualizing, questioning, clarifying, summarizing, and citing specific details. Students will maintain a reading-response journal and develop shared expectations for respectful dialogue, intellectual risk-taking, and inclusive participation.
