Language Arts
Mission StatemeNt
It is the mission of the Language Arts Department to develop independent, enthusiastic, life-long readers who are knowledgeable of the reading process.
To achieve this goal, we will immerse students in a literacy-rich environment, giving them the opportunity to experience a variety of materials that meet the developmental needs of diverse learners. As students move from learning to read, to reading to learn, all teachers will facilitate students in their development of strategic reading skills. Students need to interact with literature at increasingly higher levels as they interpret, evaluation, and synthesize written materials. We believe this can best be achieved through the cooperative efforts of the student, the school, and the home environment.
