5th GRADE TOPICS OF STUDY
NEW ELA PROGRAM
LAUSD has adopted an ELA program called Benchmark Advance.
The Benchmark Advance program architecture provides a cohesive K-6 framework for the development of content knowledge over time.
Engaging, multi-genre reading selections, complex read-alouds, decodable texts, differentiated leveled texts, and reader’s theater experiences
are integrated into each three-week unit. Students are immersed deeply in the topic, expanding their academic knowledge
and vocabulary as they build literacy and English language skills.
