8th Grade Level - English Language Arts ENCORE class - Instructor: Beth Wolz

Daily work on English Language Arts, half the week is spent in classroom working on targeted readings with assigned prompt questions, formal writing, and grammar. The other half of our time is spent in the Computer Lab working with Achieve 3000 application. Fridays are designated as FunFridays, but ONLY if everyone in class is caught up on their work! Work before play!

Research: National Lexile Study

The results of a nationwide, year-long study that looked at the achievement of 879,872 students in 5,199 schools showed that students using Achieve3000's KidBiz3000®, TeenBiz3000® or Empower3000®solutions doubled their expected reading gains with regular program use. See for yourself how Achieve3000 has been shown to deliver double to triple Lexile gains in a single school year!
