A.S.K. refers to Analyze. Support. Know. When we read with comprehension, we analyze a text or topic using critical thinking skills. When we think with skill, we support a main idea or claim with evidence and logical reasoning.

When we write with a plan, we know how to map out and write paragraphs and essays for different purposes. This one-year, literature-based, language arts curriculum for grades 3-6 promotes growth in these reading, thinking, and writing skills, teaches students what questions to ASK themselves, and empowers students to become thoughtful, independent readers and writers. Book 4 includes Units 8-10 which cover narrative writing, theme, and the friendly letter. This is the student edition.
