Reading Thru the Year (RTTY) is a modularized three-year program which instills important Habits of Mind through the use of short stories. The program enables students to become thoughtful, curious, persistent, empathetic and innovative thinkers. Stories are carefully curated across a variety of genres and cultures to foster a love for reading and literary appreciation. Alongside, the program hones a range of written and oral communication skills. The classes are interactive, with team-building and collaborative activities. The program is implemented as weekly after-school online classes through the academic year.
