In this ongoing course, students will learn close reading strategies using engaging non-fiction articles about intriguing scenarios, animals, and situations. (Reading Comprehension and Writing)

Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8

During this course, students will learn how to read closely (at the middle school level) using engaging non-fiction articles about interesting scenarios, animals, and situations.   #academic

Students will improve their understanding of close reading a text and will learn strategies for correctly answering text-based questions.

I have been teaching middle school Reading and Language Arts for more than 19 years.  I specialize in reading skills/strategies, step by step writing instruction, and working with students at their own individual levels.

I am a certified teacher, so state scholarship funds can be used for your learner to enroll with me.  Please message me for more information!

Paper and pencil will be needed for this course.

I have received permission to share each of these articles in its entirety.
