Advanced Foundations in Reading & Writing (6-9th) 

9/9-12/9, 14 classes; Every Monday 7:00-8:30 pm EST

Advanced Foundations in Reading & Writing is designed to help students succeed in English Language Arts by building their reading and writing skills. For students who were enrolled in Intermediate Reading & Writing, this course will build on the skills from last semester. Newcomers are welcome. Students will practice writing strategies and close reading skills to improve their literary analysis and reading comprehension. Students will develop their writing skills by focusing on organizational concepts, argument writing, grammar and mechanics, and vocabulary. Each class will involve reading and writing assignments selected to help students build their critical reading skills progressively. Students will build confidence in their writing through instruction and practice in writing composition, while learning how to analyze literary works and construct persuasive arguments. During the semester, students will study a range of short fiction, poetry, and non-fiction texts. Guided class discussions will help students improve their reading comprehension and critical reading skills. The course is primarily designed to strengthen students in academic reading and writing. Each class will involve reading and writing assignments. Grammar, writing mechanics, vocabulary acquisition, and reading comprehension strategies will be topics of specific instruction to help students master the skills they need for success in future standardized testing, including the SSAT. This course is suggested for students in grades 6-9.
