Welcome to Jr. High English! The goal is to teach your student the importance of
grammar and punctuation, handwriting, vocabulary, and lead them to becoming
composers and orators in the study of the English language.

What is ELAR?

ELAR stands for English, Language Arts, and Reading. This year in Junior High
we will be studying composition and communication in English including the
importance of the inclusion of grammar and punctuation.

Many topics we will be studying in ELAR include: Oral Language, Vocabulary,
Fluency, Comprehension, Genres, Literary Elements, Author's Craft, Self-
Sustained Reading, Response Skills, Writing Process, Genre and Composition,
and Inquiry and Research.

All junior high school students are participating in Accelerated Reader (AR).
