BEGINNING ENGLISH

In Reading, students learn to skim; scan; identify the main idea and supporting details; make predictions about a text; answer questions about a text; identify signal words, transitions, pronouns, and referents; identify parts of speech and verb tenses; guess the meaning of unknown words from context; and recognize prefixes and suffixes. In Writing, students learn to write both simple and compound sentences with correct punctuation and capitalization. They write at the sentence and paragraph level using simple present tense, simple past tense, and simple future tense. In Grammar, students review the basic parts of speech and their functions in a sentence, the simple tenses (present, past, and future) and present and past continuous, pronouns, prepositions of time and location, articles, singular and plural nouns, and question formation.
