In the last year of SuperKids, at the Foundations 2 level, the students continue with rigor, learning how to read fluently and with comprehension skills which will carry them into the next levels of learning. The reading expands into nonfiction through the monthly magazine, SUPER, and the book club with covers 16 chapter books.
