Elementary Language Arts - The language arts incorporate the processes of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In Kindergarten through Grade 2, students are learning to read progressing through a developmental continuum that stresses decoding, including phonics, and basic comprehension. In Grades 3-5, students read to learn with an emphasis on comprehension. This occurs during language arts and in the content areas of health, math, social studies, and science.
