Class Experience

This is a read aloud class for learners desiring to get more practice with reading while having the opportunity to connect with their peers through play!
Reading out loud, for students who enjoy it, is very helpful in increasing literacy skills, and building confidence.
This class will give students the opportunity to not just read a book, but make it come alive by adding expressions, projecting their voices and listening to each other.  All of this while enjoying fun doll play!
Students will also engage in mini moderated chats in between passages which encourage great social interaction and creative thinking! 
What will we do?
We will read passages from the popular American Girl series.
The books that we will use are as follows:
Maryellen The One and Only
Joss
Julie The Big Break 
Kit Read All About it
Luciana
Nanea The Legend of the Shark Goddess

Each learner will have the opportunity to participate in reading through a round robin format, 3-5 sentences.
I will share tips for voice projection, reading with expression and quick tips for sounding out unknown words all in a supportive and motivating setting!

Learners will leave class feeling more confident in their reading skills.


So, grab your favorite doll and join me for a fun and creative read along!
