Strategic Reading (SR), aims to give students reading two or more years below grade level an opportunity to accelerate their reading in an age-appropriate, motivational, and innovative classroom. By using a balanced-literacy approach, SR teachers help students to build skills and strategies that they may have missed. Additionally, students have opportunities to relate prior knowledge and experience to texts so they are better able to understand how reading applies to their own lives and future learning. The Literacy Initiative by TDHS continues in the 10th grade with Reading & Writing in Your Career (RWYC), which provides further assistance to those students who may have made reading gains in the 9th grade but are still reading two years below grade level. Like Strategic Reading (SR), this intensive acceleration course engages students in age appropriate materials and topics while building their confidence and skill levels. RWYC uses the same balanced literacy approach to help students make the greatest gains. College Prep Reading & Writing (CPRW) continues TDHS’s Literacy Initiative in 11th grade by providing additional assistance to students who are still reading two years below grade level and those who have not acquired the necessary skills for college and post-high school careers. Like Strategic Reading and Reading and Writing in Your Career, this intensive acceleration course engages students in age-appropriate materials and topics while building their confidence and skill levels. The course also gives students the assistance and awareness they need to be prepared for state-based graduation tests as well as postsecondary options.
