Language Arts Elijah reads on a daily basis for information and pleasure; though he reads both fiction and non-fiction, he prefers non-fiction. He enjoys writing comics, emails, grocery lists, table top game instructions, and notes and plans his for video game designs. Both his handwriting and typing skills have improved vastly this year. His spelling and reading comprehension are both well beyond average for his age group. This year, Elijah was especially fascinated with linguistics, translations, accents, and foreign languages. We spent a great deal of time focusing on these concepts, as well as literary devises, such as metaphors, alliteration, and idioms. Elijah is adept at finding information via online wikis, Internet and Google searches, encyclopedias, and the library catalogue. He knows how to use a dictionary and thesaurus.
