• Written expression: mastering essay structure, transitions and persuasive techniques gives students the tools to succeed on written assignments across all subjects.
• Language mechanics: building a strong vocabulary through reading and word study helps students express ideas more precisely in both speech and writing.
• Text analysis: students explore novels, plays, short stories and poems, learning to identify literary devices like metaphor, symbolism and irony.
