 Welcome to my Wiki-Page :)

Here you will find an interactive webpage that integrates the five components of balanced literacy-phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and phonics- integrated with English Literature. Exploring literature helps students develop comprehension and decoding strategies, and expand their background knowledge. Exposing young readers to excellent literature will provide them with the reading skills they need to succeed academically, and get them excited about reading. On this page, I hope to provide resources that will both help my students explore excellent literature, and give my colleagues input about teaching in my content area. Please feel free to leave me comments, questions and suggestions.
