The Tier 2 program provides strategies and skill development to ensure literacy skills that enable students to successfully perform across all high school content areas. College Literacy Strategies builds on student skills to prepare students for literacy demands in post-high school settings. In all programs, reading specialists provide engaging, differentiated, student-centered instruction with lessons that are aligned to the Common Core State Standards. All courses offer assignments and assessments that emphasize critical and analytical thinking, problem solving and strategies that allow flexibility for different reading purposes.
