Each week the class will focus on specific reading comprehension skills and strategies. Some of the topics will be inferences, plot, summary, character development, theme, and more. The class will utilize story books or pixar short videos to teach lessons. There will be high engagement through discussion and activities allow the learner to grasp the concepts and skills. My teaching style will be to include each learner providing them opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas. I will teach with a sense of urgency so that students understand the importance of learning the concepts. The sessions will be broken into four segments: warm up with critical thinking strategies, direct instruction of the skill/strategy, guided instruction with the story/pixar shorts with comprehension questions for discussion, and independent practice with an exit ticket. Learners will interact with each other via discussion and activities. There is no prior experience needed to be able to join this ongoing class.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their reading comprehension skills and learn to apply the skills and strategies into their everyday reading and learning.
