AVID Elementary_ A Case Study of Program Effectiveness

# data[].attributes.body
At the elementary level, AVID strategies are integrated into the regular school day.

Students use AVID note-taking techniques in all of their subjects, and class activities reinforce the concept of college, why it’s important and the hard work and dedication it takes to get there.

Along with organization and self-confidence, elementary AVID also emphasizes academic language — the lexicon of words that are often found in textbooks and on tests, but aren’t always well-known by students, particularly those for whom English is a second language.
