LITERACY COURSES
Literacy Advantage courses are standards-based general studies courses that meet the needs of students who are not prepared for grade-level academic challenges because they are reading below proficient. Courses assist students in mastering required content in math, science, English, and social studies to earn credits toward high school graduation while simultaneously developing literacy skills. Literacy Advantage courses are based on the most current research in adolescent literacy and best practices for instruction and intervention. Each semester of the course offers 60–80 hours of interactive direct instruction, guided practice, and integrated formative, summative, and diagnostic assessment. This level is available for Math, Science, English and Social Studies.
