About Fifth Grade English

At the beginning of each year our students begin to study and try their hand at different types of writing. Throughout the year they are taught many different methods of reading and writing and consistently add more skills to their resume. In the early spring our students take their SOL reading and writing test. This test is difficult, but we have full confidence in our student's ability to excel on these tests. After the tests are finished, we review skills that have previously been mastered and introduce some new concepts to get our students ready for the sixth grade.
