US Grade 7
This class is Unit 1 of 4 units offered that will introduce a total 12 comprehension skills. Additional units of this class can be added by request. Each unit is independent of the other. Enroll in one unit, two units or all units. Also, the units do not need to be taken in order. In this unit, Unit 1, we will target the 3 comprehension skills: Understanding Words, Finding Information, and Identifying the Main Idea. In each section each week: - Learners will have the option to watch a video where they can follow along as I read the text. The read along is geared more for students who have reading difficulties. Those who are fluent readers are encouraged to read the text on their own. - Next, learners will watch a video of me teaching the comprehension strategies, then we will practice as we apply the strategies together with the given text. - Next, learners will either view another video to help guide them in the completion of the "Practice Page", or they may opt to complete the "Practice Page" without video guidance first then use the video to check the accuracy of their answers. - Next, learners will continue to practice the strategies learned by completing an "On Your Own" page. The student will either upload the completed "On Your Own" page to the classroom to be checked for accuracy by the teacher or upload a video of them completing the page verbally. - In week four, learners will complete a cumulative assessment to practice the strategies they learned. They will upload the assessment to the classroom for the teacher to check for accuracy. No grade is given for the assessment unless requested, but learners will receive feedback on areas that need review. Week 1/Section 1 (Understanding Words): We communicate with others by using words as our building blocks. This week we will learn that it is important to understand what words mean and will learn some ways to determine their meanings in context and be able to use those strategies to answer questions about texts. Week 2/Section 2 (Finding Information): Learners will scan passages to find keywords and learn how to use the keywords to find information. They will learn how to then use those keywords to find details as they carefully read and/or listen to passages being read. They will learn how to use the keywords to find clues to answer questions about passages. Week 3/Section 3 (Identifying the Main Idea): Learners are more likely to comprehend a text if they understand the main idea. This week in this section, learners will practice this skill and learn and understand why it is important. Week 4 (Cumulative Assessment on Sections 1-3): This week learners will apply their knowledge of the strategies learned in the previous 3 weeks/sections to complete a cumulative assessment and submit it for teacher review and feedback. As a reminder, this is a FLEX class which means there are NO Live meetings. Interaction will take place via written posts, attachments and videos in the classroom between the learner and teacher. If a learner needs LIVE interaction, one-time or ongoing sessions are available for enrollment by request. This FLEX class is part of my "Let's Target Comprehension" series. If you are interested in a LIVE format of either a 1:1 tutoring or a group version of this class, I have TRIAL sessions available by request if you don't see available times listed or if available times are inconvenient. The LIVE group classes are not as indepth as the FLEX classes, but they do offer very small class sizes for individualized attention and immediate teacher feedback. I can design the 1:1 LIVE tutoring classes to best fit your learners individual needs. You might want to consider a one time LIVE class to try this series for your learner and I to meet or as a review for individual sections of the FLEX class units if your learner needs more practice with immediate feedback provided by the teacher. Please contact me with questions or class availability requests. I hope to meet your learner in class!😊

Teacher expertise and credentials
Alabama Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology/Pathologist from University of South Alabama
For more than three decades, I have successfully helped hundreds of children and teens from 2 years old to 19 in public school, private school, homeschool and wellness center settings improve their speech, language, auditory, phonics, reading and brain fitness skills and much more. I have a M.S. degree in speech-language pathology and earned a Master's level teaching certification. I am also an Interactive Metronome (IM) Certified Provider. IM is a computer based brain fitness training program. I meet my students where they are at their level. As I teach, I adjust to help reluctant learners as well as others who may need or want more challenge. I have decades of experience teaching each of these types of learners within the same class. I try to make my classes engaging and fun. I have a wide range of experience that includes teaching those on the autism spectrum, learning disabled students, add/adhd and many more areas of concern, as well as, experience teaching regular and gifted learners. I have found that patient encouragement in a structured and energetic yet relaxed classroom environment helps learners brains focus to receive information better and helps them become detail oriented.
