WELCOME BACK! ELA AIS is NOT a graded class. We will work to build reading and writing skills that will help you in ALL of your other classes, not just ELA. We will begin the year with reading and writing pre-tests that will direct the individual work that you do here. I see no sense in wasting both of our time by having you work on skills that are already strengths for you. Your pre-tests will show us what we need to work on and what we don't. You will NOT need to buy supplies for this class. I will provide folders and composition notebooks that will stay here for classroom use. You will need to bring a pencil (NOT A PEN) with you every day. __________________________________ 
In this class, we will build reading and writing skills that will not only help you in all of your subjects, but even outside of school and throughout your life. Regardless of what you decide to do with your life, reading and writing are essential skills. ___________________________________________________________  PARENTS:
Please encourage your children to read for at least 20 minutes a day.
