Assignments
1 hour per week. Students will spend time reading outside of class. I encourage them to keep a journal of their thoughts while they read or simply a place to reflect on their feelings about the book. These regular assignments will help students remember what they read when they come to sessions and begin engaging more deeply with literature.Progress Report

Learning Needs
This class is designed to support unique learning needs. I use a flexible, student-centered approach to tailor our sessions to each child's pace and interests. My goal is to make reading enjoyable and accessible for every student.
Parental Guidance
Students will choose the title they wish to read in our sessions. Parents should review their child's choice to ensure that the book is appropriate in content and difficulty. If parents request that I select a title, I will provide necessary information to families about sensitive topics they may want to avoid.
Supply List
Students will need a copy of the book that they have chosen. They will also need a notebook to keep notes and a casual journal of their thoughts while they read.
