Informal assessment through teacher observation during class will guide instruction. Learners will be asked to make sounds, read words and sentences. Learners will be asked discussion style comprehension questions and are expected to participate. Learners will be asked to write words and sentences independently and as a group. Teacher will adjust instruction in response to ongoing observation- based assessment.Class Experience
US Grade 4
The age range is only a guide. This class is appropriate for anyone that is currently learning on a 4th grade level. *** You do NOT have to complete any other classes to take this class. And this class will NOT cancel for low enrollment. *** This class is ideal for a learner who is reading on a 4th grade level and needs more time with phonics, syllables, and morphology. Each class we will read a new book. The books will be guided reading leveled readers from levels P, Q, R, or S (see monthly schedule below). We will also, review phonics for multi-syllabic words, discuss comprehension questions, complete word study activities, and engage in guided writing. Learners will also read to the group, answer questions, and engage in group discussions. Guided reading is small-group differentiated instruction that supports students in developing reading proficiency. The small-group allows teachers to target specific learning needs, provide appropriate scaffolding, and gradually reduce support to promote independence. This class is a great supplement to your existing reading program (4th grade reading level). Monthly Schedule for Guided Reading Levels that are equivalent to 4th Grade: P- transitional level from 3rd grade to 4th grade level- covered in July, August Q- beginning to middle of 4th grade level- covered in September, October, November, December R- middle 4th grade level- covered in January, February, March, April S- end 4th grade level- covered in May, June
Learning Goals
Students will improve reading skills, more complex phonics (multisyllabic words, complex vowel patterns, etc.) , sight words, fluency, and comprehension.
Other Details
Supply List
Materials: Paper and pencil is sufficient, but learners may enjoy a dry erase marker and board (try the dollar store). Plus, markers are easier for me to see when learners hold up their work.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
