❗️This is a self-paced class which means that your learner can work at their own pace. This class is suitable for all learners of all abilities. Each week I will read a portion of a Diary of a Minecraft Zombie book by Zack Zombie. Both books will be read entirely in the 2 weeks. *Permission has been obtained by the Publisher. Purchasing the books is not mandatory, but helpful if you would like to follow along. In this space, children of all abilities can take a break and immerse themselves in a quality book series. Learners of all types, including those who are neurodivergent and/or have an auditory or visual learning style, will find this to be a great opportunity. The books are super entertaining, and any Minecraft fan will LOVE them! They are written from the perspective of a character named Zombie. These books are his diary of the events that happen in his life. Zombie gets himself into all kinds of sticky situations! These books are very easy to follow and allow learners to really dive into their imaginations.
