Together we will focus on developing language, and academic reading and writing skills. Students will practice reading for comprehension as well as drafting, revising and summarizing skills. They will polish their grammar with a focus on creating academic level complex sentence structure while avoiding sentence fragments and run-ons. Students will work extensively on paragraph and essay organization, and on writing multiple drafts of proofread, edited and reedited essays. They will also learn to read more deeply and with better developed comprehension skills and strategies for improve those skills.
