Students establish or strengthen core literacy routines by reading a variety of fiction, poetry, drama, and literary nonfiction. They practise making predictions, asking questions, identifying main ideas and supporting details, summarizing, inferring, and using evidence from a text to explain their thinking. Students examine character development, setting, plot structure, theme, point of view, figurative language, and author’s craft. They compare personal responses with those of classmates and learn to support interpretations respectfully using specific textual evidence. The topic culminates in a written or multimodal literary response.
