This course covers all the skills on the TABE-E, including comprehension and decoding skills. Students may be ELL or low-level readers, not ready for the TABE-M. Coursework includes phonics-based work as well as readings from Commonlit. 

Ongoing enrollment; Schedule varies

This course works backwards from TABE goals to create material that both assists with TABE progression and increases reading skills.

This course uses reading material to cover all the reading skills required to level up. Students will have the option to take this course multiple times (using different reading material) in order to develop a strong reading foundation and achieve their reading goals. Student interest is important when choosing reading material and will be taken into consideration.
