Reading and Writing Skills for 5th Graders

In 5th grade, students move from learning to read to reading to learn. They analyze characters, themes, and author's purpose in fiction, and pull key details and evidence from nonfiction texts. On the writing side, students practice opinion, informational, and narrative writing — all of which are core skills tested on the NDSA in Grade 5.

• Reading literature: theme, character, point of view
• Reading informational text: main idea, evidence, text structure
• Writing: opinion, explanatory, and narrative forms
• Grammar and language conventions
• Vocabulary acquisition and word relationships
