Literacy Specialists work with small groups of students within content area classrooms providing support and instruction of strategies needed to comprehend content material. In addition, small groups of students meet with Literacy Specialists for focused, explicit instruction of literacy skills and strategies.

Grading Policy:

Students will either receive SP or UP on their report cards.
