Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
This class is designed to help students practice their reading fluency and reading comprehension skills. This class will also focus on vocabulary and spelling. Students will have a better understanding of the texts that they've read. They will also be able to decode words and read with fluency.
                In this class, students will learn how to use context clues to define new vocabulary words and to help them gain a better understanding of the texts that they have read. Students will practice reading aloud for fluency and will also learn reading comprehension strategies. Syllable strategies will be introduced each week. Lastly, Students will also review grammar topics (i.e. verbs, apostrophes, verbs, etc.)
                 This class is interactive and will require students' participation. I will assist, as needed, with pronunciation and fluency.
The class will begin with a new vocabulary word related to the text each week. The students will then review a grammar topic and complete a worksheet page. After the word introduction and grammar review, a reading comprehension strategy skill will be discussed. The class will end with comprehension questions related to the text , as well as, a discussion. The passages will be read from the k5learning website and ixl website using share screen. Passages may be read from my canva worksheets. Students will take turns with the reading. If time allots, we will play a gimkit or blooket game based off a reading strategy (locating the main idea of a text) or a grammar topic.
