My number one learning goal is to help facilitate the love for reading.  There is nothing more valuable in my opinion!
As we reflect upon the text we will be reinforcing the following concepts:

-Examining the development of characters, comparing and contrasting
-Reviewing main idea and detail
-Summarizing what we've read
-Discussing setting and themes
-Discussing opinions as well as inferences we can make from the text
-Finding Figurative Language
-Making predictions

All of these concepts will help with the overall skill of being able to have meaningful discussions about books, fostering confidence in themselves as they continue to do this in other situations throughout their school careers.  

I am a certified K-8 teacher in the state of AZ with a B.A. from ASU.  I have experience assisting students on-one-on in special needs classrooms, as well as conducting gen. ed. reading interventions for grades K-5 in a public school.  I have a passion for teaching reading  and am thrilled to be able to provide this kind of one-on-one support. 

Homework Offered
I don't ever want this book that they love to feel like "work", or turn into something they dread.  If we are involved in a text analysis that the student is particularly engaged in, I might ask them to finish it on their own, however homework is not typical.

The source material will be the book of your choice, which you must have a physical copy of.  Don't forget to check your local library!  Please give me a week in advance to get a copy for myself.
