Foundations

     

Foundations, like the name implies, focuses on developing the literacy skills and strategies that are the foundation for other disciplines. Both seventh and eighth-grade Phoenix students take Foundations for the entire school year.

Instruction and practice of any of the following may take place during this class  period:

• Reading Strategies
• Vocabulary Development
• Writing Skills
• Mathematical Skills
• Research Skills
• Technology Skills
• Media Literacy
• Study Skills
• Test Taking Strategies
• Learning Styles
• Communication Skills
• Organizational Skills

These skills and strategies will not only help the students in all classes but in life situations.  They are the foundation for all learning.
