How do we cope when bad things happen? How do we grow and change as people? How do we find our courage? What does it mean to be resilient? The stories selected in this class are all centered around courage and resilience. Each class will begin with a new story that we will read and discuss together, stopping to ask questions throughout. At the end of the story there will always be a writing activity for the students to take part in. Stories selected are from Scholastic Scope magazines and are both fiction and non-fiction. 

Throughout this program, students will develop strategies that are necessary to help them better understand what they are reading. They will engage in various activities that are aimed at improving reading fluency, expanding vocabulary, and focusing on some key skills such as details, text evidence and key ideas. 


Strong reading comprehension skills are essential for doing well in school. This class is specifically designed for students who may need help catching up, staying on track, or even pushing ahead in their reading abilities and understanding. Small group instruction is emphasized as it not only aids academic growth but is also a cost-effective alternative to one-on-one tutoring. Working in a group setting reduces individual stress and promotes learning from peers.

The material provided is at a grade 7-8 grade reading level.

This is an ongoing class, and students can come and go as needed.
