Comprehension strategies, such as comparing and contrasting, enable students to understand material on higher level thinking skills. Skills in the areas of reading, writing, and grammar help students to better understand content. By creating long-term projects, students become actively engaged in the planning and researching processes. For curriculum to be effective, objectives must be clearly stated. Content must be related to students backgrounds and real-life situations for it to be beneficial and meaningful.
Parental involvement is also crucial in the learning process of middle-grade students.
By including these necessary methods, students will be more engaged in the learning process and successfully completing curriculum goals.
