2nd Grade Summer Reading: Meets 2X/Week #academic

This class will cover second grade reading curriculum based on common core standards. I am an experienced teacher with 10 years teaching experience. Over the past 6 years I have taught 2nd grade at my local public school, teaching all subject areas (reading, writing, math, phonics, science and social studies). I am excited to learn with your learner this summer! 

I believe in meeting learners at their current academic level and providing an encouraging learning environment to facilitate meaningful learning. Learners should come to class with paper and pencil or whiteboard. I encourage discussions and lots of interaction but also understand some learners prefer not to participate and enjoy listening to class discussions. 

Each session will include a mini-lesson, group practice and independent practice. The mini lesson will include the new teaching point, which the teacher will demonstrate using interactive slides and/or Jamboard.  

This is an ongoing class so join anytime as new concepts will not be dependent on previous classes. 


Reading topics taught will include comprehension, accuracy and fluency strategies through mini lessons below:
Previewing and predicting
Retelling
Learning about characters
Lessons learned from the book
Scooping words and phrases
Stop and Jot
Strategies to figure out tricky words
How to use more than one reading strategy at a time
