Language Arts
The critical work of English Language Arts is to develop a complex and flexible literacy foundation which requires students to orchestrate multiple aspects of language in order to be proficient readers and writers. Specifically we want our students to be able to: read and comprehend texts across a range of genres and text complexities and access strategies for restoring understanding; construct a response, either orally or written, to texts read or written; compose narrative, informational, and argumentative texts.
