Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Katrina Larsen.

This is an option which helps support and accelerate under-developed reading and comprehension skills. Students with a low reading age will be required to take this course. Over the course of 10 weeks we engage with a variety of reading material, from articles, song lyrics and stories, to film transcripts and subtitles. The aim of this course is to supplement students' work in other classes and to learn to read for enjoyment.
