"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, more places you will go." Dr. Suess 

Welcome to 6th grade ELA at Hallsville Junior High School. Reading is the key to success and I look forward to watching students become stonger readers and writers. During the course of the year, we will study various genres of texts: nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and drama. Students will learn to look for big ideas, themes, and connections to what we are reading. They will also learn strategies to use to enhance reading comprehension. In 6th grade, an emphasis is placed on vocabulary, and weekly quizes are given on Fridays.
