Students enrolled in Reading 9 will meet 3 days a week to complete content across various texts that encourage the development of critical- thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication skills. In addition students will work to strengthen their comprehension skills in one specific area one day a week while utilizing the online program of Study Island. Students will explore both Fiction and Non-Fiction Texts to help develop reading strategies to strengthen comprehension and enhance their learning experience. Throughout the course of the year, students will utilize classroom tools such as Study Island and Google classrooms, both in and out of the classroom.
