I have been a state licensed and highly-qualified teacher for over 15 years. I was named my school's district reading and writing teacher on two occasions. I have always seen myself as a reading teacher for all of my students. Students who are in grades 3 and above read to learn and need to learn the strategies that make this possible.

1 file available upon enrollmentStudents will be provided with a link to the reading passage upon request.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- Pear Deck
I use Pear Deck to create a lesson that is interactive for all students. I use Pear Deck because learners respond with anonymity. No student names are posted alongside the responses. When learners respond to questions using Pear Deck, other learners cannot see the name of the response authors. Learners are able to answer questions during class, privately without the worry of making public mistakes. Students will be provided a link at the start of class that opens up a Pear Deck presentation. Students do not need a code or membership to Pear 🍐 Deck. All text passages are from reliable news sources or publishers.
