This year it is my mission to work with the 9th grade team to build a solid academic reading foundation for all of our students in their content area classes. Students may struggle with the change in the amount they are being asked to read for their classes and the complexity of the reading.
During this transition I will be working directly with classes to help students develop active reading strategies. If you have specific questions about your child's reading please feel free to contact me.
The Reading Enrichment class is very lucky to have subscriptions to the Teen Biz reading program. Teen Biz is an on line reading program that gives our students daily practice with reading and writing on their independent level. Students are able to access the site by going to www.teenbiz3000.com and putting in their user name and password. If you would like more information about the program please contact me.
