In terms of reading and writing skills, by the end of fifth grade, children are expected to be able to determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative language, such as metaphors and similes, and to use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context. In terms of Language Arts skills, by the end of fifth grade, students are expected to be able to explain the function of conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections in general and their function in particular sentences, to form and use the perfect verb tenses, to use verb tense to convey various times, sequences, states, and conditions, to recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense, and to use correlative conjunctions.
