Welcome Hornets!

 

Hello! My name is Taylor Karl, and I will be teaching 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Reading for the 2023-2024 school year! I am also the middle school One Act Play director and a writing coach for UIL events. 

This will be my 8th year teaching at Holland Middle School, and my 9th year teaching overall. I attended Holland ISD from kindergarten through my senior year. After high school, I attended Texas A&M University and earned my degree in History.

  I'm ready to challenge my students to enjoy reading, broaden their knowledge, and discover a zest for learning!

English Language Arts and Reading

English Language Arts and Reading encompasses many areas of study including reading, writing, listening, speaking, research, and grammar. In all reading classes, students will read texts that enhance their reading skills, help them to learn how to think critically, and introduce them to more diverse genres, subjects, authors, and cultures.  

 

Renaissance/A.R System: Students use Renaissance to take a diagnostic assessment to determine their reading levels and take tests on A.R. books/class novels. 

IXL: IXL is an educational website that provides students the opportunity to practice specific skills that we learn in the classroom. IXL contains skill practices for all subject areas, it is a helpful check for understanding during the teaching process, it enables students to work at their own learning level and their own pace, and it provides teachers to opportunity to immediately recognize students who need extra help with a skill or students who have mastered a skill.
