Language Arts - Reading and Vocabulary
Houghton Mifflin Journey's Program along with rich quality children's literature make up the foundation of the Language Arts program at McNeil. Because of the percentage of ELL and socioeconomically challenged students I utilize local and contextual support materials: thus the local business photo-when learning about businesses vocabulary. Students participate in 4 different reading groups made up of above level, at level, below level, and far below level. Vocabulary support is crucial to students with language and cultural differences.
