Fix the gap — Skills below grade level that are blocking everything above them. Worked on until they stop being a problem, then retired.
What is assigned — The texts and standards the class is actually graded on — the 43 titles on the FCPS list plus grade-7 SOL skills.
Go wider — Titles and practice the school suggests but does not grade — thematic pairings, independent reading, the handout’s review sites.
Past the ceiling — Advanced Academic depth and beyond — high-school-level literary analysis, original research, writing for a real audience or contest.
591,925 words of real text — every chapter, nothing summarised. Change the type size, search the whole book, highlight a sentence to save it or hand it to the tutor, who can read the page you are on. White Fang and The Taming of the Shrew are on your list; the rest pair with one that is.
