This literacy-based class focuses on improving reading comprehension skills in order to unlock more of each student's learning potential.
Course Overview
We believe that it is especially imperative that adults with disabilities continue to enhance their ability to decode and comprehend written text. Improved reading comprehension skills are solidly linked to better outcomes in the areas of employment, post-secondary education, and independent living. The goal of our Literacy course offerings is to provide reading instruction that will assist in the continued development of this crucial life competency.
