The students will be introduced and begin to develop skills in reading comprehension and fluency on their own reading level. The students will develop the reading strategies in the following areas: Cause & Effect, Summarizing, Fact & Opinion, Drawing Conclusions, Text & Graphic Features, and Mian Ideas & Details. 

 As an elementary classroom teacher, I have taught reading through guided reading for many years and worked throughout the year in enrichment programs. Each type of genre offers new and explicit reading skills and strategies that students are able to apply, use and retain the information that they are presented and have read. Along the way they are building fluency and gaining in their reading abilities.  I have seen young readers grow and develop newly found literacy skills in both reading and writing about reading that fosters their independence. I have seen students achieve success and growth with starting a new beginning in guided reading.

Homework Offered
As an option homework recommendation, it is helpful that students read 10-15 minutes nightly to practice their reading skills.
Assessments Offered
As an introduction to Reading, I will assess and complete informal assessments throughout the lessons. First, during the beginning of the lesson while introducing related vocabulary and giving background knowledge. Then, during the middle of the lesson within small group instruction, and at the end assessing the students completed assignments and tasks.
Grades Offered

 In this reading class, I have developed lessons that foster reading comprehension, fluency and reading strategies through the reference of text, "Reading Strategies Book" written by: Jennifer Serravallo.
