Academic Literacy

Grade level: 9
Repetitions for Credit: No
Prerequisites: Teacher recommendation

Academic Literacy is a Tier 2,  grade-level class designed to enhance and improve the reading achievement of identified struggling readers and to support students in their concurrent English classes with grade level English Language Arts skills. The course will involve the application of active reading strategies, vocabulary development, pre-teaching, re-teaching and reinforcement of concurrent English class skills, and support for written language including essay writing and grammar development. The structured literacy instruction will be provided through the Fast ForWord (Scientific Learning) program.  Fast ForWord is an evidence-based, personalized, online reading intervention program that prepares the brain for learning by improving the language and cognitive skills that are often weak in struggling students (MAPS — memory, attention, processing speed, and sequencing).
