Start at any time! 

Learners will improve reading comprehension and writing skills. As an added bonus, they will learn new science facts.

Each class will start with an article focused on a science topic. These will include life sciences, earth sciences, and the study of the cosmos. As we read, we will work together to find key details. Learners will then take those key details and compose an essay on what we have learned.
