This current group of 10th graders were online for COVID shutdown for the end of 3rd grade and all of 4th - pivotal years for literary development, and it shows. However, helping fostering a love of reading and exposing them to a variety of text types really makes a huge impact in their ability to sit with their thoughts and words on a page. \r\n\r\nReading allows teenagers agency that they don't always feel in their day to day life.
