What is Reading Strategies class all about?
Reading
Strategies class is designed for 7th and 8th grade students.
In the class we will be exploring the many different reading
strategies our students will use to become better
readers.
During the class students are required to read AR books. AR books
are books we use in our library that have an accompanying test.
These books are used to help increase comprehension. Students
receive the Topeka-Capital Journal newspaper which is used for
many reading activities.
Throughout the year I will be updating this page with our strategies of the month. So check back often to learn more about the strategies your child will be using.
