What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
4+ hours per week. We will have a good amount of reading outside of class, about about 10 pages per day. If you homeschool, keep in mind that this can replace your child's literature reading and may even apply to homeschool hours depending on your State's requirements.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 5
Come and read great books with us! We will meet twice per week and work our way through some of the most beloved, most engaging, and most imaginative works of children's literature. In each meeting I will encourage every student to think carefully about what we read and share their thoughts about it in a round-table discussion. We'll laugh, enjoy great stories, and grow together as we read and explore!
