5+Language+Arts+Learner+Outcomes

 ﻿ Language Arts learner outcomes are gained through the activities of reading, writing, listening, viewing, discussing and presenting/sharing. In each of our themes we will allow students to experience a variety of these activities to help them develop their language skills and knowledge. We will also do weekly story writing, spelling, independent reading, and editing. You can find a complete list of outcomes and examples at the [|AB ED Language Arts Program of Studies]. 1.
