Middle School Reading Program
"Improving analytical skills and restyling the purposes of reading" 
While most reading done by elementary students focuses on reading for literary experiences and reading to acquire and use information, middle school students are expected to use these skills to analyze and extract meaning from texts. Although the purposes for reading differ, strategies readers use for both are more similar than different.
In our classes, students learn to construct meaning from texts. Some of skills we focus on include:
- Word identification strategies
- Finding details
- Drawing conclusions from inferences
- Understanding the main idea
- Cause and effect
- Sequencing, etc.
Students will read and analyze a variety of texts that will reflect the kind of reading they do at school. More importantly, the lessons will develop their understanding of different writing styles, genres, and motifs in:
- fictional narratives
- non-fiction articles on various topics in different content areas
- literary works from award-winning and well-known authors frequently read in school
- informational texts
