The purpose of the class is to help students who are reading below grade level to improve their
reading skills to a grade 9/10 level by focusing on the grade 1-8 Reading Content Standards.
Students will develop their skills in the following areas: vocabulary and concept development,
reading comprehension of literature and informational text, critical analysis of text, writing to
improve reading, and fluency in oral and silent reading. Reading for pleasure and personal interest
will be encouraged. Thinking skills, study skills, and workplace skills will also be addressed.
