Students will receive support in reading, writing, and mathematics. The reading program will focus on comprehension, and teachers will foster high level thinking by modeling practices of good readers. An important portion of the program will be assist students’ transition from elementary to middle school and prepare rising 8th graders for their last year of middle school.
