Reading and Writing

In reading and writing, students use Kidspiration to strengthen word recognition, vocabulary and comprehension. Students express their creativity and develop critical thinking skills as they combine pictures and words to retell stories or compare literature. Students expand their ideas into written expression by switching to the integrated Writing View, and then transfer their work to a word processor to finalize their project.
