English with something to say
Good stories. Thoughtful conversations.
You do not need to be a literature expert. We will explore manageable passages, notice how the language works and use what we read as a starting point for speaking.
Follow the ideas with clear context and help with unfamiliar language.
Look at a writer’s choices. Use details from the text to explain your reading.
Share a response aloud, independently or with a tutor. Models and feedback will support you.
