LANGUAGE ARTS - 1
Overview
Grab your compass and gear up for a camping trip! In this course, students will go on a reading adventure where they will learn sight words and develop skills in writing, vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, and more. Students will learn to read and write by understanding how letters and letter combinations make certain sounds. Join Cameron the Camper as he uses question words, his spelling backpack, and other fun tools to dive deeper into reading!
