Literature for Life: The Middle School Reading Program, in association with the Language Arts Curriculum, is designed to review, refine, and reinforce basic reading skills while developing the student's ability to analyze a variety of literature through coherent, expository writing. The Reading Program provides instruction at all skill levels, including courses for students with particular learning difficulties or disabilities. The program strives to strengthen the developmental skills begun in the lower grades, but also to provide courses that encourage the student's continued growth and interest in academic and leisure reading.
