LANGUAGE ARTS:
R.WS.06.01 Use word structure, sentence structure, and prediction to aid in decoding and understanding the meanings of words encountered in context.  
R.WS.06.02 Use structural, syntactic, and semantic analysis to recognize unfamiliar words in context (e.g., origins and meanings of foreign words, words with multiple meanings, knowledge of major word chunks/rimes, syllabication). R.WS.06.03 Recognize frequently encountered words automatically.

R.CM.06.03 State global themes, universal truths, and principles within and across texts to create a deeper understanding. R.CM.06.04 Apply significant knowledge from what has been read in grade level appropriate science and social studies texts. R.NT.06.03 Analyze the role of dialogue, plot, characters, themes, major and minor characters, and climax
