Effective Reading is a supportive class. Our goal is to work with students to improve reading comprehension, vocabulary development and reading fluency. We plan most assignments to be completed within the class time. However, if students do not use the class time effectively or have incomplete work then they will need to take work home. We
do appreciate a student commitment to
read a minimum of 30 minutes each day at home! |
