Fishtank ELA Core and Recommended Independent Reading Texts is a comprehensive English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum designed to develop strong literacy skills in students. It includes Core Texts, which are carefully selected to align with grade-level standards, focusing on building deep comprehension, critical thinking, and analysis skills through guided classroom instruction. These texts cover a range of genres and topics to ensure students are exposed to diverse literature.
In addition to the core texts, Recommended Independent Reading Texts are suggested to encourage students to read on their own. These books are chosen to foster a love of reading and further develop students’ reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. By exploring different genres and themes independently, students can enhance their literacy skills outside the classroom.
Together, the Fishtank ELA curriculum provides a balanced approach to literacy, combining structured, teacher-led lessons with opportunities for independent exploration to support well-rounded reading development.
