Students are provided access to a variety of leveled texts across genres and text types. Students are also provided access to the Maryland College and Career-Ready Standards in the area of Foundational Skills to include phonemic awareness and phonics. Reading strategies are reinforced to aid in comprehension. Students analyze the key ideas and details, and integration of knowledge and ideas in a wide range of literature and informational texts. This course is designed to facilitate alternate academic learning outcomes appropriate to the instructional needs of the student, as documented in the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This course is linked to the general education curriculum; however, the student will require a different scope and sequence, adapted and modified materials.
