The curriculum of the Reading Department supports the mission of Enfield High School and Enrico Fermi High School. Our department offers a multi-level, diagnostic-based reading program for students whose reading levels are deficient and below grade-level expectancy.  Students are placed into the program through teacher recommendation and diagnostic testing.  Embedded in our Reading curricula are lessons that teach students to:

• Utilize critical thinking skills to read and/or interpret a variety of materials across the curriculum 
• Express ideas, including taking a critical stance on issues, in both verbal and written modes, for various purposes and audiences 
• Use multiple resources including technology 
• Understand roles and responsibilities 
• Recognize multiple perspectives and acknowledge the right to individual opinions
