Building vocabulary and reading comprehension

Students in Quills and Quotes are required to complete weekly homework related to advanced vocabulary building, critical analysis and reading comprehension. The students read a challenging paragraph designed to improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension, but also to cultivate their global knowledge. At Quills and Quotes, we believe the best writers are the most voracious readers, but the best thinkers are the global readers.
