Minnesota Online High School offers this course as part of our flexible online learning options.
Reading is an important skill in education and everyday life. In this course, you will improve your academic reading level and study skills. There are two major components to this course: working independently in an online reading program (Reading Plus or Reading Horizons Elevate) and meeting weekly with the Reading Lab teacher. Each week there is an additional assignment on topics such as academic vocabulary, strategies and reflection.
Reading Plus provides leveled reading and vocabulary practice to increase your comprehension and reading rate. Reading Horizons Elevate reviews reading fundamentals from phonics and decoding to comprehension. During your weekly meeting we check-in and work on specific reading strategies. Each quarter we monitor your reading progress using FastBridge assessments. As a Reading Lab student we support you in all of your MNOHS courses.
