Reading
The Reading program at Glenn Arbour Academy focuses
on the development of reading skills, which will
encourage students to become avid readers,
both for knowledge and enjoyment.
In the Primary Grades a very structured,
strong phonetic based program is presented.
Application of reading strategies to read unfamiliar
words and acquiring automatic recognition of words
is emphasized. Attention is given to
programming to meet the individual need of the
student. As students become involved in the
reading of short stories, a description of the plot,
characters and settings is required.
In the Junior Grades students are involved in
progressively higher more complex reading
selections. Emphasis is placed on fluency and
expression. An application of a higher level
of thinking skills, reflecting upon their personal
experiences and previous knowledge will be required
to further their reading comprehension skills.
In the Senior
Grades students have the opportunities to engage
in higher level independent novel studies, both
fiction and non-fiction. Answers to reading
assignments involve including specific detail and
information from the text to support their answers.
For completion of research projects students become
engaged in analyzing higher-level reference material
to support their results. A list of
"selected references" is a must for each completed
inquiry.
