Students in middle school have three periods of language each day: one period of Language Skills, one period of Composition, and one period of Literature.

SKILLS
SKILLS
Through a multisensory approach, middle school Language Skills classes guide students through advanced decoding-spelling concepts, including higher level multi- syllable words, morphology study, vocabulary practice, reading fluency, and passage comprehension exercises. Class groupings enable intensive intervention, direct instruction, and mentoring to promote skill development.
Exploring
LITERATURE
LITERATURE
The middle school literature program is designed to stimulate interest and discussion among our students, who are typically skilled conceptual and abstract thinkers. Teachers use a multisensory approach to help students experience the literature, develop an understanding of other cultures and perspectives, empathize with characters, and explore a variety of literary genres. Students are grouped to facilitate classroom discussions.
Written
COMPOSITION
COMPOSITION
Jemicy’s Middle School provides an explicit, highly-structured, sequential method of scaffolding each step of the writing process to equip students with the knowledge and skills to be successful writers in a college-preparatory high school program. Teachers use the scope and sequence of Paragraphology®: a variety of technological resources, color-coding systems, note-taking techniques, interactive methods, and strategies to teach the writing process. Composition classes consist of homogeneous groups of students.
