Class Experience

Let's have fun while we practice our reading fluency together! Elephant and Piggie books are my favorite from helping readers become more confident and fluent! They will learn about different punctuation and how our sentences are spoken differently based off of the punctuation. They will practice reading sight words and short sentences to increase their reading ability. Learners will interpret how a character is feeling and give that character a special voice.  

In this one time small group class, we will be introduced to the character of Elephant and Piggie. The learner will be assigned a role of either Gerald the Elephant or Piggie the Pig. I will share my screen so that they have access to the words. Learners do not need the book to enjoy this class! 

We will read through the book one time to practice reading in sentences and identify unfamiliar words. Then we will do a quick review of words that we might not know how to pronounce or what they mean. We will also talk about the character and how to read dramatically. If there is a phonics skill a learner is struggling with, we will practice that skill so that they become more confident! 

Learners will practice creating voices for their character, interpret emotions from their character, and pay attention to how different punctuation makes sentences sound different! 

 Finally, we will read through a second time using fun voices and acting the story out!
