| guide for classroom instruction. Various texts are used with a focus on the standards required for success leading up to the Reading FCAT in March, 2009. |
| Texts: Some of the texts used in class are, EDGE, Jamestown Signature Series, Timed Readings, Vocabulary |
| Drills, and various novels and interactive books. We also have additional reading websites and programs that are available for use in the classrooom on laptops. We also use TeenBiz3000 with our laptops. TeenBiz3000 is an outstanding interactive computer program to increase comprehension, vocabulary and writing proficiency. |
