I Understand! Reading Comprehension Practice, First Grade Level

In this ongoing course, we will practice our reading comprehension skills. Approximately 24 hours before our scheduled class time, a short story and worksheet will be posted in the classroom for learners to DOWNLOAD and PRINT. Please bring these sheets to class. We will read the story together, find the important details in the passage, answer questions and write a short passage about what we read. Learners should  already be able to read sentences and short paragraphs somewhat independently for this class. While phonics will not be taught, we will briefly go over any unfamiliar or difficult words as needed. This class is intended for kindergartners who  are already reading independently, first graders reading at grade level or second graders wanting extra reading comprehension practice at the first grade level. 

*Please note that the reading passages used rotate every school year. For example, reading passages used in the fall of 2020 will be used again in fall 2022 roughly in the same order. If your learner has enrolled in this class the prior school year, they may have already read the passage.
