The two-class set of books that I am requesting will increase students' reading and language arts skills, by being exposed to complex texts, such as novels. These novels will be used as a novel study to supplement quick reads and expose students to more longer texts. These texts will help build stamina and language arts skills, such as inference, context clues, central ideas and so on. The California standards will be covered in these two separate novel studies. This will break the usual short read routines in the classroom and allow students to be more in-depth in the narrative writings of Because of Winn Dixie. Additionally, the text Island of the Blue Dolphins will be correlated with the fourth-grade history curriculum. As students learn about California Native Americans, they will be exposed to a classic historical narrative that corresponds to their social studies. This will make learning more meaningful in the classroom and help students be life long readers.
