I absolutely love children's books, and many learners do too. It's never too late, or too early, to develop a love for books! A classic share-and-tell is fun and exciting experience for learners of this age. They have no idea they are also learning valuable life skills in the process. Share-and-tell helps learners become comfortable sharing in front of a group. They learn fundamental speaking and listening skills. They practice organizing thoughts, planning a presentation, conveying main ideas, and using a variety of descriptive language. The process of share-and-tell helps students learn to answer questions from their classmates. It is also a great tool to help English language learners develop vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence. In this class, learners will have the fun opportunity to share one of their favorite books, and tell a little about what makes the book special to them. Students can then answer questions about their book from classmates. Students will take turns speaking, listening, and asking questions. We can then discuss if there are books others have shared that we may like to read ourselves. This is fun, relaxed class designed to help learners develop their confidence and skills, as well as engage with others. Please come to class with a book, prepared to share what you love about your book. Feel free to tell us what the story is about, introduce us to favorite characters, tell us the setting of your story, or what made you choose your particular book. I can't wait to meet you and see what wonderful books you bring to share!
Learning Goals
Students will develop confidence speaking to a group, practice organizing and articulating thoughts, and use descriptive language as they share and answer questions about a favorite book.

I am Kelley Pope. Your learners can call me Ms. Kelley. I have a Masters Degree in Education from the University of South Florida, with specializations in general elementary education and exceptional student education. I have been teaching and working with children for 3 decades. I have experience teaching children from pre-school to 12th grade, of varying abilities. I spent the majority of my time in the classroom teaching second and third grade. I have been teaching English online to non-English speakers since 2017, and I am skilled in effective, virtual learning strategies.
Teaching has been my life long passion. I'm an enthusiastic teacher and hope to inspire my students to limitless learning in a positive environment! My interactive classes are engaging, meaningful, and fun. I use multiple strategies to reach and engage different types of learners, making them comfortable and confident in their surroundings to learn and share with ease. I teach through an assortment of oral instruction, demonstrations, slides, activities, games, modeling, discussion, and hands on experiences, ensuring students have every opportunity for engagement and learning. I want each of my students to come away from our classes feeling confident and inspired.
Many of my students greatly benefit from one on one learning to help grow them into confident, happy writers.

A little about me... I am a mom, wife, and teacher. I am a huge animal lover, and have several pets of my own. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my family outdoors biking, hiking, enjoying the beach or Disney, and exploring new adventures. Movies and game nights are also family favorites! I have a fondness for reading writing, and crafts, as well. I love meeting new students, connecting with others, and sharing the joy of learning.
I look forward to seeing you in my classroom soon. We are going to have a blast!
