Class Experience

Have your learner practice weekly fluency passages and spelling words! 

The first portion of this class will be focused on fluency. This is an ongoing class with different passages every single week! Each learner will be picked at random to read for one minute following our Fluency Four Rules: Punctuation, Accuracy, Rate, and Expression! We will do our “Cold” reading on Mondays and our “Hot” reading on Fridays. Learners will use a variety of strategies during readings as well. 

The second portion of our class will be focused on a set of spelling words. The learners will use a variety of fun strategies and funny voices to spell out each word taking turns.

Learning Goals

Learners will develop and improve on their fluency in reading and spelling skills.

Welcome!

My name is Yuri Casas and I am so excited to be your Outschool Teacher! I live in South Texas (Rio Grande Valley) and am a single parent to my 3-year old daughter who was recently diagnosedwith Autism. I have been working as a Teacher for 12 years and have worked with all ages! I recently obtained my Master's degree from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Educational Leadership. I am also very fluent in the Spanish language as well!
(Si usted quisiera que su hijo(a) tomara mi clase de ingles, puedo traducir mis lecciones durante mis clases que están en ingles!)

I am currently certified to teach Early Childhood to 6th grade in the state of Texas! I have spent several years in the Pre-Kindergarten classroom and moved over to the Special Education specialization. I spent a few years working in the Inclusion and Resource unit for grade levels 1st through 5th and Life-skills Unit for grades 9-12. 

My teaching style is energetic, singing songs, and learning through games and play. I love to motivate my students with constant positive feedback as well as rewards! I will be focusing on letter identification, sounds, phonics, colors, shapes, sight words, fluency, and learning to read! In addition to this, I plan to extend my classes to a focus in science with experiments and book clubs using a variety of familiar reading strategies for ages 7-10!

If you have any questions or concerns or would even like to request a specific class from me, do not hesitate to contact me! I would be more than happy to and would love to tailor lessons for all kinds of learners! Please be sure to follow my profile for any upcoming classes!
