L3 is entirely research-based. Here's what the research says:
- College success starts in middle school - the best predictor of college readiness is eighth-grade literacy.
- Students learn best when texts are differentiated by reading level.
- Grouping texts by theme help students relate what they read to their lives, and motivates them to keep reading outside of school.
The perfect prep for students
In Trinity Scholar L3 Programs, students craft their own lively and effective writing and understand the nuances of well-constructed texts by engaging in close reading and discussion of a wide variety of texts.
Through class discussion, close reading activities and writing exercises, students identify and practice the elements of powerful writing:
✓ precise diction and vivid detail;
✓ deft control of tone;
✓ careful use of voice and point of view; and
✓ attention to the rhythms of the English language
In L3 Junior (4th-6th grade), students confidently lay the groundwork for future studies in English. Emphasis is placed on improving academic fluency by reading a wide variety of texts and honing writing skills.
In L3 Core (7th-9th grade), students focus on understanding the tenets of effective academic writing and sharpened critical thinking skills. Verbal skills tested on the SSAT, ISEE, and SCAT are given special weight. Lessons focus on close reading, text evidence, and other critical skills to boost a student’s learning trajectory in junior high school.
In L3 Honors (10th-12th grade), students build a foundation for success in AP courses and standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. Heavy emphasis is placed on evidence-based analysis and writing. Designed to meet Common Core Standards, L3 Honors examines important historical events and reinforces the literary, scientific reasoning, and economic concepts needed to succeed on standardized tests.
