Learners will improve their reading and writing skills while having fun and remaining engaged. 

Learners will learn to use and practice skills used in independent writing, reflect on their written work, and make revisions to create a final, polished sentence, paragraph, or essay. They will also learn about the planning (pre-writing) and writing process. 

Learners will learn to use and practice skills used in independent reading such as decoding, monitoring comprehension, inferencing, and even conducting a deeper analysis of fiction and nonfiction pieces.

I am certified to teach grades 7-12 (middle and high school level) English/Language Arts in the state of Texas. I have taught 7th grade English for about three years. I also have two years experience tutoring all subjects to high schoolers. This includes language arts, college entrance exam prep (SAT), essay writing, and the college admissions process. 

Homework Offered
Learners may be asked to complete some work outside of class. This is not a requirement, however. It is ultimately up to the learner and grownups, but could help move things along faster (if you are on a deadline) and provide further practice of skills. 
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessment will depend on student needs. Ongoing informal assessment will always occur. Initial assessment will occur in the first class meeting or prior to it in the form of an overall evaluation. Formal assessment will occur when applicable in the form of a final product such as fully revised and edited essay or book report.
