Is your child struggling with Reading? If so, please consider enrolling them in my Ongoing course that will provide daily reading practice of one to three times a week. Students will have an opportunity to REVIEW basic reading skills and strategies. Each Power Point Presentation will focus on reading skills that are pertinent to obtaining a better understanding of Comprehension Passages. Students will Close Read several short or long passages each session and respond to questions. The course content will be delivered for 30-40 minutes during an Ongoing Course Schedule; therefore, you may come and go as you please. This course will require a workbook. It can also be taken multiple times because I will change the workbook(s) or course content from time-to-time. Course Workbooks are appropriate for grades 4 - 9. Please consider this course for after school, homeschooling or weekend review and practice sessions. This course may be taken multiple times because books will change each time course is listed. `````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` PLEASE NOTE: During the course sessions, most, if not all passages will be completed in the text during the timeframe. (Some workbooks are very long and contain a lot of passages.) As stated above, I will be using different books. Please make sure to check the schedule and dates for the correct grade/workbook; message me if there are any questions. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` SOME READING SKILLS & READING STRATEGIES ADDRESSED: `Main Idea Close Read `Details Visualization `Context Clues Read Questions First `Inference Process of Elimination `Fact & Opinion Text Features `Drawing Conclusions Author's Purpose `Compare/Contrast Sequence ````````````````````````````````````` COURSE SCHEDULES for TBA ````````````````````````````````````` GRADES 7-8 ````````````````````````` WEEK 1 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 2 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 3 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 4 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 5 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 6 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 7 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 8 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 9 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 10 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 11 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions WEEK 12 DATES: FOCUS: main idea, details, context clues, inference, drawing conclusions ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
