Literacy Development

Our literacy development curriculum uniquely combines reading and writing with athletic experiences, creating engaging pathways to strong communication skills. Students explore literature about sports pioneers, write about their own athletic journeys, and develop critical reading skills through sports journalism and athletic research. This innovative approach makes literacy development dynamic and relevant to our scholar-athletes' lives.
Key Focus Areas:
• Reading comprehension through sports biographies and athletic journalism
• Writing skills through training journals and performance analysis
• Vocabulary development through sport-specific terminology
• Public speaking through team presentations and athletic demonstrations
• Research skills through sports history and science exploration
• Creative writing through personal athletic narratives
• Critical analysis of sports media and athletic literature
• Technical writing through training plans and goal documentation
By connecting literacy to athletics, students develop strong communication skills while deepening their understanding of sports culture and history. This integrated approach creates confident communicators who can effectively express themselves in both academic and athletic settings, preparing them for success in all aspects of their lives.
