[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So curious what novels your child read at Payne in 5th grade this year?  Sounds great! [/quote]

The three I can think of most recently are: How I Became a Ghost, Elijah of Buxton, and Esperanza Rising.
As a former ECE and Kinder teacher I was not as familiar with what 'Novel Study' is because I was always more focused on teaching kids how to read, not these higher level analysis of texts. From what I have learned about it, I am really impressed. Not sure if that is DCPS or just a teacher led initiative.

Oh interesting. The teacher reads aloud and the kids follow along and they discuss. Great technique. [/quote]

Yea - not to make too much of a digression on this thread, but they each have a copy of the book, and read the chapter at home too, but have in depth questions, essays, and work related to what was read, and they aren't allowed to read ahead, so they all are at same place. They also read other books during the year just to read, and also use Worldly Wise. http://wordlywise3000.com/

Again, I have no basis of comparison as this is my oldest, and I never taught older kids, but I have been impressedm[/quote]
