  • This year in ELA, your student will improve their literacy skills in a variety of ways. Some of our main objectives include learning how to analyze a variation of arguments, narratives, and informative texts through reading, writing, and speaking. Through the use of our textbook and other preselected novels, the students will improve their vocabulary, increase their ability to interpret complex readings, and build reading and writing stamina.
