MS Reading Support
For students in need of reading intervention, the Middle School offers a program called The Literacy Center. This program was created to help meet the individual reading needs of students within the framework of TCA’s curricular requirements. Admission to the program is based on classroom assessments and teacher recommendations only. Supporting the belief that students learn in different ways, a Reading Specialist works with students, faculty, parents, and administrators to identify individual needs and decide how best to address those needs.
