Imagine It!
Reading, Writing, Spelling, Vocabulary, and Grammar
Below is a link to the Imagine It! curriculum where you can find out more about the curriculum. You can search for specific Unit and Lesson information. The Imagine It! curriculum is very structured. Each week, we will complete a new lesson including a story with accompanying writing, spelling, vocabulary, and grammar lessons. Every Monday students can expect a spelling pretest and vocabulary lesson. We will read the story in class a minimum of twice each week, and students will be assigned workbook pages FOR A GRADE throughout the week to review comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and grammar. Along with classroom notes, these workbook pages will be an excellent review for the test. At the end of each week, students will have a lesson reivew test and a spelling posttest, each for a separate grade. (Spelling will be incorporated in students' writing grades.)
