Course Objective
8th grade reading/language arts are designed to have students work
independently and collaboratively on their reading, writing,
speaking, and listening skills. Students will use a variety of skills
throughout the year to help them reach their full potential. Students
will work on tracking their progress throughout the year and taking
ownership of their learning.
