Speaking and listening skills are practiced primarily through classroom discussion of reading materials. Analysis of the various literary forms becomes a significant part of the reading program. Both required and independent reading takes place. Writing skills are further developed through directed writing and free composition. A variety of major literary works are read and discussed in detail to include excerpts from novels, essays, poetry, short stories, and plays.
