Welcome to Mrs. Rooker's English Class Wiki English class is a study of Literature, with additional work on reading and writing skills. Students receive instructional strategies and support for the level of reading they currently achieve to help meet their individual education plan (IEP) goals.

Each student is working together in class to read and understand the literature that includes poems, plays, short stories, essays, parts of novels and folktales. These classes covers authors from the early American Indians and Puritans to current authors writing on issues facing our country today.

Literature helps us appreciate the beauty of our language and helps us learn about the struggles and joys people in our country experienced before us.

We also hope to become more literate and build our skills so we can have a good life which includes a good job with the ability to read for work, and to read for pleasure with our family.

My goal for each student is to come away from this class with a greater appreciation for reading, improved ability to read independently with understanding of what they read, and be aware of the power reading can give them in their lives after high school.
