The High School Reading/Writing Workshop meets the needs of many beginning high school students for a course that focuses on improving strategies for reading and writing effectively. The course is intended to help students make the transition from middle school to high school, and it should set a foundation for reading and writing in high school English, as well as in other subjects.
This course will help students develop strategies to begin independent reading of a variety of print materials, for a range of purposes, in present and future reading situations. This course is not a remedial reading course but an opportunity to develop and strengthen reading skills and strategies. In addition, the course provides students with the opportunity to strengthen their writing skills.
