🚨 Get $10 off with COUPON CODE: MALCOGROUP10 🚨 ----- I ask that all students follow the classroom rules and policies, students should be respectful and patient during the lesson, dressed appropriately for class and come prepared to read. I also ask that students keep their cameras on for the entire class time, (not required but recommended) this is to help me better assess and help each student, as I can better determine who is struggling with a question when I can see them. This allows me to help the students get the most out of the lesson. ----- In this Ongoing class, students will have the opportunity to read through a diverse selection of reading materials 📖 such as Fiction, Non-ficiton, Informational text and more while also learning and implementing different strategies to help improve their overall reading comprehension/fluency. The strategies and stories are rather diverse and were designed and chosen specifically to help students from the 7th and 8th grades. (But advanced 6th graders and struggling 9th graders may do well in this class too). We will be implementing a mixture of the different reading materials while also incorporating the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Some of the main concepts we will learn about in class include: Main ideas, Summarizing, Inferences, Figurative Language, Character Analysis, Author's Purpose, Themes, Fact vs Opinion, Foreshadow and MORE. During each of the lessons, students will be encouraged to read out loud, ask questions, share their ideas and engage in thought-provoking discussions. They may also be asked targeted retention and discussion-based questions throughout the lesson to help guide the students to a better and more in-depth understanding of what is being read. While students are reading the passages they will also be able to work on their overall reading fluency. During each of the lessons, I am planning to guide and assist the students to help them improve their pronunciation, speed and expression. I also desire to utilize those situations as instructional opportunities to help the students work together to identify the meaning of an unknown word, consider the intentions of the author or see if there are any parts of the story that some of the students may not understand.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida
Hello everyone!
I am very thankful to be teaching here on outschool. I have been working with children now for nearly 7 years and have been able to teach over 3000 online classes. I have a wide variety of experience from working with charter schools, local government recreation positions, public school programs and multiple online teaching platforms. Over the years I’ve had multiple educator roles such as Online Teaching, Homeschooling, Reading Tutor, Soccer Coach, Bible teacher, Sunday School, Fitness Educator, Camp Counselor and an ESL Teacher. During that time I have been able to teach a variety of different topics including English, Reading, Math, Finance, Fitness, Health, Technology and more.
I received my Bachelors degree from the University of North Florida while studying Health Science/Fitness. I was also in charge of putting together a health awareness program for struggling students while working with a charter school.
Afterwards I began working with multiple different curriculums and have specialized in working with struggling readers and began creating custom reading evaluations and courses that are tailored to help students improve in all areas of reading including speed, accuracy, pronunciation and comprehension.
You may also see that I offer typing courses which were designed to help students learn the foundational skills of typing on a computer by building and utilizing proper finger positioning, muscle memory and visual/kinesthetic accuracy while also incorporating challenging and engaging typing games/lessons.
I really do enjoy teaching many different topics and learning more everyday as I believe there is an infinite amount of wisdom to learn so we should never stop learning.
My goal as a teacher is to Equip, Encourage and Challenge each of my students to not just learn the information but rather to learn it and use it wisely in their lives.
