Grade 7
Advanced Reading 7 will focus on the same TEKS prescribed by the State of Texas for the grade level but will emphasize the advanced application of reading skills in increasingly complex texts across a variety of genres. Students will be challenged to become critical thinkers through analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of higher-order thinking with instruction…
This course integrates the teaching of English 7 ( LA7200) and Reading 7 (LA7210) for campuses not offering separate courses. This course integrates the study of writing and reading skills. Students will develop more complex reading skills by analyzing a variety of text genres and forms of media while simultaneously enhancing their proficiency using writing…
