Join Mr. Malcolm for an engaging and challenging adventure as we dive into the middle of a chapter book, and your job is to use the information you read to figure out where the story starts and where it will end! 🗓️ The class will meet 2 times a week for 4 weeks and we won't be simply reading all day! Each week we will be learning important concepts that will help advance and grow your child's reading comprehension! We will do this by learning and practicing comprehensive reading strategies...
