📝 Contact me with schedule requests if you don't see a time that will work for your learner so I can check my schedule for a possible alternate day/time (no weekends) 🗓 Please check out the syllabus to determine which mini-course section or sections you want your learner to enroll based on the month of the year and the week(s) of the month you plan to enroll. A different comprehension skill will be targeted each week. Skills repeat every 4 months. However, the reading selections for each skill will be different each semester and summer. This has a very small max class size with a limit of 4 learners to allow the teacher to give more individualized attention to learners to help each one improve and/or practice reading fluency and/or comprehension. In this three day (1 session per week for 3 weeks) mini-course, learners will take turns reading portions of a passage. (Unless the parent/adult notifies me prior to class, each learner will be expected to read aloud during class.) I do my best to make our class a safe place for learners to feel comfortable practicing reading skills. However, if your learner does not want to read aloud, no problem, we will work on improving auditory skills. It is best to let me know this as soon as your learner is enrolled. During the read aloud portion of the class we will work on sounding out words, pronunciation of words and learn that some words are not easily sounded out and need to be learned by sight or follow certain reading "rules". We will work on reading fluency and speed as well as meanings of words in the passage. Some learners think that faster is better, yet they miss words or don't slow down at commas or pause at periods. This affects reading comprehension. So we will practice these skills as well. **Remember each section is 3 days (once per week for 3 weeks). Enroll in one section or more. The sections do NOT build on each other.** In addition, I offer mini-courses and ongoing / enrichment versions of this class for ages 9-11 and 11-14, as well as, 1 on 1 private tutoring for ages 6 to 16 where I can customize further the material to meet your learner's needs. Please check out my profile with class lists or contact me for more information.

Other Details
Learning Needs
This class is designed to support all learners including those with ADHD / ADD, Dyslexia, ASD and others. Class size is kept very small so the teacher can help meet needs of each learner.
Pre-Requisites
Learners should have the ability to read on a minimum of a first grade level in preparation for this second and third grade content.
Supply List
I will screen share the reading passage during class. Learners should have a pencil with an eraser or erasable pen and a sheet of paper in case it is needed for notes or to write answer choices to help with comprehension. Usually shortly after class ends, but at least within 12-24 hours after the last day of camp, learners will have the option to download and print out the reading passage(s) from the classroom as well as a practice sheet and helpful hints we discussed in class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Alabama Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology/Pathologist from University of South Alabama
Over the years I have loved helping children and teens from 2 years old to 19 improve their speech, language, auditory, phonics, reading fluency and comprehension, brain fitness skills and much more. I meet my students where they are at their level. As I teach, I adjust to help reluctant learners as well as others who may need or want more challenge. I have decades of experience teaching each of these types of learners within the same class. I try to make my classes engaging and fun. I have a wide range of experience that includes teaching those on the autism spectrum, learning disabled students, add/adhd and many more areas of concern, as well as, experience teaching regular and gifted learners. I have found that patient encouragement in a structured and energetic yet relaxed classroom environment helps learners brains focus to receive information better and helps them become detail oriented.
