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 four days / week 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

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