Reading aloud is the foundation of literacy skills including reading, writing, listening, and speaking! Hearing stories read out loud gives students the opportunity to to hear how words and language come together in a story. It also develops children's interest in books and becoming readers themselves! In this class we will read a fun and colorful story out loud. Students will sharpen their listening skills, and start to understand how stories work! They will also start to recognize words and letter sounds! We will discuss the book as we read, which will help students gain curiosity and interest in the story! Students will also discuss 'what happened?' in the book, helping them grow their memory and reading comprehension skills! This class will engage students in learning the basics of reading! It will introduce the Title, Author and Illustrator. We will discuss the 5 W's of the story, and learning about characters, setting, and plot! I hope you join us for Story Time, as we jump into new books every session, and use our imagination to explore the world of each story! Come once, or as often as you'd like. Each session will be a different book!!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a home-school mom of two (5th grade and 10th grade!), who loves to teach (and learn!) through creative means! We are always learning visually, tactically, and kinetically!! I love to teach Math using manipulatives, Science through crafts and experiments, Language Arts with toys, etc!
I have a background in education, and believe in Student Directed Learning. I feel students who are given the opportunity to lead their learning style, will grasp the concepts faster and comprehend the material better! This is why my teaching style allows for visual, auditory, tactile, and kinetic learning!
My love for teaching stems from a family of teachers! Growing up with both grandparents and parents who were teachers instilled a love of learning creatively in me!! When I became a mother, I knew I would enjoy teaching my own children! It has been very rewarding to teach my two children for the last 3 years! However, I firmly believe that even home school students should have interaction with other children. When we joined a co-op of other home-schoolers I was quickly asked to teach! The joy I get from creating fun lessons for others children, and the look on their faces when they grasp a concept furthers my love of teaching! I have taught language arts, geography, cultural studies, and art in a large group setting!
If your child learns best in this teaching style, feel free to recommend a subject matter and I am happy to plan a class around your child :) I am also flexible in planning around times and dates, some students learn different subjects best at different times! My children love to start their morning with Math, and during the afternoon slump do a fun science experiment! Every learner is different, so don't hesitate to ask for a different time!
I look forward to teaching, and learning from your students!Reviews
