In 3rd Grade Reading Comprehension Champions Course Pt. 1, students will embark on an interactive journey through the world of reading! We will explore fiction and nonfiction texts, covering essential topics such as analyzing story elements, understanding context clues, and identifying main ideas. Our class is structured over 8 weeks, with engaging lessons that include a mix of lectures, interactive games, and collaborative discussions. We will meet twice a week for 30 minutes, featuring dynamic learning experiences with slides, video clips, and hands-on activities that make reading fun and relatable! As a teacher, my style is both enthusiastic and supportive. I believe in fostering an interactive environment where each student feels comfortable sharing their thoughts. We will use the "I do, You do, We do" method to ensure students fully understand the content, allowing for gradual independence in their learning. Learners will have opportunities to participate in lively discussions, work together on group activities, and engage in exciting review games. Students will be tested on the material on a biweekly basis to ensure comprehension and mastery of concepts. Through this engaging format, students will not only enhance their reading skills but also develop a love for learning. Together, let’s make reading an adventure!
