In this 5 Day Reading Camp, students will meet daily for 1 week to listen to and discuss a new Little Miss or Mr. Men book, all of which are based on common feelings and personality traits that children encounter as they grow and engage in new relationships, especially at school! We will focus on reading comprehension, writing, fluency, speaking, and listening. These fun, colorful books are certain to be loved by your child as they listen to stories that give context and "names" to common...
This class is taught in English.
Students will focus on characterization and review the 5 W’s + an H (who, what, when, where, why, how) of comprehension. They will also learn to listen, take turns, and respect classmates who are speaking and sharing ideas! Students will respond to a writing prompt to apply new vocabulary and information. (Students who do not yet read and write words will be given prewriting strategies to complete the tasks.) By sharing their writing, students are also building speaking skills and gaining confidence to share their thoughts and ideas with a group! We will focus on: -reading comprehension -writing -speaking -fluency -listening Students will be introduced to the names of emotions and personalities through the book. However, the goal of the lesson is to focus on reading comprehension and responding to writing prompts.
