Essential Literacy

The Essential Literacy elective is an opportunity for reading growth for middle school students at Lake Norman Charter. Core ELA teachers recommend students who demonstrate a need in comprehension, fluency, vocabulary acquisition or even basic phonics and word recognition instruction. The elective course is structured for class sizes no larger than 15 to ensure a more individual approach to guided reading. During the course, students will be reintroduced to reading concepts to rebuild solid understanding and shore up any possible gaps in phonics, fluency and comprehension.
