Many people define reading in a very traditional sense.
To many, reading is decoding, or sitting down and reading various novels. The skill of reading is much more involved, and at a middle school level it must be more than the above definition. The theme unit in eighth grade reading class is careers. During the four weeks we are together, students will be expected to use reading, writing, decision-making, research and study skills. Career related readings are ever present during this four week class.
