Language Arts (Communication)

Since reading, writing, speaking, and listening well are important to all we do in college and the rest of life and is the sole sign of a well educated individual, lower school scholars at The Brook Hill School will develop and strengthen their communication skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students will explore some of the finest literature available as they learn to become enthusiastic and avid readers. Writing and speaking will become an adventure as they learn to express themselves clearly, creatively, and persuasively. Students will experience comprehensive instruction that focuses on explicit and direct instructional strategies to build important foundational skill in phonics, vocabulary, punctuation, and grammar which free them to read, write, and speak with success and enjoyment. A print-rich classroom environment is available to provide reading resources, ideas, models, and platforms to explore and learn the writing process in much the same way accomplished authors do.
