Reading
Reading is an essential component toward building college and career readiness. Reading provides access to a world of
information otherwise unobtainable. By developing foundational reading skills, students are able to obtain access to
information across the curriculum. There are four major components of reading: accuracy, comprehension, vocabulary, and
fluency. Accuracy involves being able to read each word with precision. Comprehension involves grasping the meaning of the
material. Vocabulary involves increasing the amount of words that the student understands and uses. Fluency involves the
ability to read words with speed and accuracy. By systematically teaching each of these four components, students are able
to develop their reading skills and become successful readers.
The reading program adapted by Greenville County is the Reading Workshop created by Fountas & Pinnell. This program
includes Book Talks, Mini-lessons, Independent Reading, Guided Reading, Literature Study, Group Share, and Evaluation.
South Carolina standards guide the program and higher-level thinking is promoted.
In correlation with Fountas and Pinnell, we will use leveled readers based on each students reading level. Students will use
the
textbook by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt as supplemental material. We will read historical novels based on the
social studies curriculum throughout the year. Students will also read self-selected books.
Modifications to this syllabus may be made in order to better accommodate the needs of our students.
