***Use code BYRDCDISCOUNT20 to try this class for free!*** **This class is taught by one of our highly skilled and experienced Little Learners Big League educators.** In this engaging ongoing comprehension class, students will learn to read for comprehension using the big five comprehension skills with fiction and nonfiction passages. At the beginning of class, I will introduce the focus skill(s) for the day and establish a clear purpose for reading. We will do some pre-reading activities, and then we will read the passage together. Each week we will discuss the passage focusing on one or more of the comprehension skills (context clues, making inferences, recalling basic information from the text, sequencing events in the text, discussing the main idea, and finding details to support the main idea). We will organize our thoughts and information using graphic organizers and worksheets. Comprehension questions are effective because they give students a purpose for reading, focus students' attention on what they are to learn, help students to think actively as they read, encourage students to monitor their comprehension, and help students review content and relate what they have learned to what they already know. We will read second-grade passages, however, this class will be a good fit for many first graders who are reading above grade level, as well as many third graders who could use a little help with comprehension. This class is great for ESL learners as well! It is not necessary for all students to be on the same fluency or comprehension level, as I will challenge those students who are ready for it and gently guide those students who need a little more assistance. Because this is an ongoing class, students may jump in at any point and they will not be behind! I always try to accommodate transfer requests, but my classes are not on the same lesson each week so please be aware if you request a transfer into another section, that section will most likely not be on the same schedule and there is a chance your child will repeat a lesson. **I have obtained written permission from the creator of the passages we will read to use in my Outschool classes. **I have created OR gained written permission to use the graphic organizers in my Outschool classes.

Hello! I am so happy to tell you a little about Little Learners Big League! This organization comprises teachers who bring decades of experience, education, and genuine care to your learners. We are certified teachers and reading specialists who greatly enjoy teaching our courses that are fun for the students, packed with value, and super engaging! We are kind and encouraging teachers who love celebrating the successes of every learner-big or small! Let's meet the teachers, and then you can keep reading to learn about all the classes we teach and the order in which we recommend them!
MEET THE TEACHERS:
Ms. Mary Ann says, "Hello! I am a certified teacher and the owner of this organization, Little Learners Big League. I come to you with over 20 years of experience as a public school, private school, homeschool, and online teacher! I also spent a decade traveling the U.S. as an educational consultant training teachers in beginning reading skills and classroom management. My husband of 20 years and I have a college-age daughter and a son in elementary school, along with two dogs and a cat. In my spare time, I love to go on long walks while listening to audiobooks and spend time with my husband and children. Outschool has been one of my biggest blessings and I am so grateful for this platform!"
Ms. Anna says, "Hello! I'm Anna Kravanh. I’ve been an educator for over 20 years, with experience as a reading tutor, homeschool teacher, and homeschool mom of four. I have my Associate Degree in Early Education. Since 2020, I’ve been teaching at Outschool, and I love the opportunity it gives me to work with students in a way that truly meets their individual needs. I’m passionate about fostering a love of learning and building confidence in every child. Whether I’m helping a student improve their reading skills or guiding my own kids through homeschooling, my goal is always to create a positive, supportive learning environment. I’m currently working toward my Bachelor’s in Education, which I’ll finish in the summer of 2025. Outside of teaching, I love traveling, spending time at the beach, and, of course, being with my family. Teaching is more than just a career for me – it’s a passion. I’m excited to continue working with students on Outschool and sharing my love for learning with my students!"
Ms. Hutton says, "Hi! My name is Ms. Hutton. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, providing a strong foundation in both content knowledge and effective teaching strategies. With six years of experience teaching 2nd through 4th-grade students, I have developed a deep understanding of the developmental stages and learning needs of younger learners. Additionally, I have worked with special education students, tailoring lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities. My experience in both in-person and virtual tutoring has further enhanced my ability to support students in various learning environments, ensuring all students can succeed!"
Ms. Trisha says, "Hi. I am Trisha! I have had a dream to be a teacher ever since I was a little girl. It all started with me lining up my dolls in my Dad's classroom and teaching them. I graduated with a B.A. in elementary education with endorsements in reading and language arts. I had the opportunity to teach fourth grade and got all of my students at our grade level by the end of the year, so I was asked to teach our Title One reading program. As a reading specialist, I had over 90 percent of my students doubling their reading fluency by the end of the year. I was blessed to help so many kids find the missing puzzle piece they needed to become confident readers who loved reading. I have also taught second grade and I ran an after-school reading program. For the last three years, I have been beyond blessed to stay home with our four girls and homeschool them. It is such a joy to hear them say, "I love reading now, Mom." Or for them to beg me to do school. I believe that learning should be fun and that every student can learn if a teacher takes the time to find the missing puzzle piece. I look forward to helping find that missing piece for your child so they can experience success and a love of learning! Thanks for letting me help make a difference in your child's life and for letting your child brighten my life!"
