I am forwarding this from Jeremy. Ginger moderator ++++++++++++ Mary Anne,
When you say that that every student must take reading as a requirement for graduation do you mean only the students who struggle with reading on the FCAT's or even the students that don't still have a reading requirement. My name is Jeremy and I am graduate student at Syracuse University in the Literacy program. I ask this question b./c I went to high school in New Jersey and reading was a really a forgotten item in the middle and high schools. It was included in our Language Arts class but was really not focused on. We missed out on a lot of items in my mind because we both focused on reading some classes or writing other classes and never really saw the two as connected. Therefore I struggled in both areas and lacked the motivation to achieve. I was wondering if you could explain a little more about what you mean by a reading requirement. Is it very separate from a Language Arts class or are they intertwined. Thank you!!
