The reading program is designed for students with reading levels below the sixth grade level, and for those who need special help transferring these skills to the content area classrooms.  Some students have experienced so much success that they have been able to pass the AB65/Torrance Unified School District Competence Exams for the first time, and are now experiencing success in their other classes.  One student's remark was that he was finally able to understand his text books and found them very interesting.  His goal, when he first arrived at this school was to be able to read and comprehend at least one sentence in each class.  Now, to his surprise, he's not only able to read his text books, but he enjoys reading many novels at home and at school.  Students not only improve their reading ability, but improve in their spelling and writing skills as well.
