Welcome to Study Skills! Please read through the syllabus linked below and share it with your parents/guardians.
This course is to prepare you to complete your End of Course Reading SOL successfully! Students typically take the End of Course Reading SOL their Junior year, but this class is designed to assist students who have not fulfilled that requirement. Testing may be conducted at various points throughout the course and may include Work Keys testing. Your attendance and preparation for taking the SOL is extremely important as it is required for graduation. Much like your other high school English courses, Study Skills will be a review of writing, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, research, reading comprehension and the study and interpretation of literature. We will use various genres of literature, but there will be a focus on reading skills using non-fiction selections similar to what you will experience in the testing environment.
