We will be reading some great books and learning about some interesting authors this year! This class is very straightforward; we will be reading about one book per month and have a quiz every week and a test every month. This class coincides with Grammar & Writing. We will have worksheets on vocabulary for each story, as well as worksheets for comprehension. As with every class, our studying for this class will start on August 28.
