Course Descripton
Welcome to Literacy Lab! The goal for Literacy Lab is to provide additional support and intervention to students enrolled in English 9 who have been identified as learners who will benefit from extended English content instruction. This course will provide students with supplemental practice as they build their foundation of knowledge and strengthen their reading comprehension, writing fluency, grammatical competence, and vocabulary repertoire. Not only will students in Literacy Lab deepen their exposure with the various classical and contemporary texts in English 9, but they will also review foundational elements of grammar and writing organization, expand vocabulary and engage in word studies, apply reading comprehension strategies, and practice close-reading text analysis. Depending on the department recommendation, Literacy Lab may be taken as semester or year long course: students may “graduate out” after semester one if they show adequate improvement as determined by the student’s teacher and counselor.
