STRATEGIC READING – 1/2 Unit of credit
Prerequisite: None Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors

This course uses the four components of research-based reading instruction--decoding, fluency, vocabulary building, and comprehension—to help students improve reading performance. As students develop skills in the four identified areas, they also receive guidance in applying the strategies to content area classes (English, social studies, and science), thus giving them the additional support they may need to succeed in such courses. The Rewards reading series will be used for strategy instruction, and content area books will be used for skill application.
