Perfect for nonreaders, beginning readers, and proficient readers. In this weekly book club, students will read/ hear a new story each week and come to class ready to have a good time. We will discuss reading comprehension questions, learn about the story elements, discuss vocabulary words, learn different genre, literary forms, and play a game or have art projects and/or other activities with each book. Students also review letters, sounds, numbers colors, and much more. If we have any additional time after our discussion and activity we will be drawing pictures of our favorite parts of the story and/ or using reading maps to focus on story elements. Be sure your learner has access to paper, or a notebook, and pencil (colored pencils are fun) or other writing instruments for our class. Students learn through active engagement, video presentations, printable story maps, hands-on activities and more. Students review different genre and stories each week. This is a weekly bookclub and Students may join anytime. This course is developed for a small group of learners in order to give more individualized attention. 1-3 learners may register.

I'm Ms Velvet and I am a highly qualified teacher with multiple Degrees in Education. I have taught ELA and ESL for many years.
I am passionate about teaching bookclubs. I believe students gain fundamental skills in reading while developing a passion for stories, fairytales, folktale and more. I keep the classroom size small so that each learner gains skills that are crucial for early readers and I ensure classes are interactive and engaging.
I am not only a teacher and parent but also a lover of books and a published author of childrens fiction and nonfiction. I look forward to meeting your child on this reading journey!Reviews
