Level 1A Reading and Language Development
In 1A students will learn basic language skills that will help them communicate in English.  This class is taught to English learners to increase their growth in language and literacy.  We work on decoding words, broadening vocabularies, comprehending text, and learning strategies for reading.

Students will build a broad vocabulary through speaking, listening, reading and writing.  This class will provide the information and skills necessary for students to make progress toward the Beginning 9-12 ELP Standards in Reading and Listening and the Minnesota Language Arts Standards in Reading and Literature.

The following themes are covered in this class as we work towards proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English through the activities and lessons in these units:
