Class Experience

I am a very patient, creative and upbeat teacher. I want kids to look forward to my lessons and learn as much as possible.  
We will read stories on a variety of topics, focusing on your learner's fluency. 

What will be taught? Reading fluency will be taught. 
What topics will you cover? We'll cover whatever reading topics the learner wants to read. 
How is your class structured? At the start of each class, we'll talk about our days and then jump into reading. 
How will you teach? It is student led - they read, I guide. 

Our first day, I'll share my rules. This will let the learner know what to expect. I'll get to know your learner, focusing on what they are interested in.
As we read each week, I'll ask questions to make sure they are not only understanding but also connecting to the material.
Outside reading is also encouraged while we aren't in class. 

If there is a book your learner is interested in reading, please share a few days before so I can obtain it. I do ask that this is a book that can be found on getepic.com or scribd.com. Both of these sites are wonderful to find online books. 

As a learner reads, if they get stuck on a word, I will underline it and have the learner read it again after they are done. If a sound or word continues to be a struggle, I will then share more words that have the same sound in common. It is beneficial if a parent is nearby, to write these words down, practicing them afterwards. Additionally, if a sound is an issue, such as "ed", then I do encourage parents to have the learner create a list of words with that sound or ending. This will help the learner take ownership of their learning. 

Throughout our lessons, learners are encouraged to also share their interests and how they feel about the book. It's okay to advocate for themselves and share if something isn't interesting. 

This is a great class if you are in a homeschooling environment and need a class that is multi-day.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

I'll be using a third-party tool called getepic.com. I'll be sharing the stories on my screen. There is no need to purchase anything unless you want it to practice with during the week. After using my own material, if the learner is reading on a level beyond what I have or I feel a story on getepic.com would keep their interest more, then I will use that tool.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am so excited to be part of Outschool! 
(Please note, I live in Arizona and we don't observe Daylight Savings Time. Your class time may change if or when you observe DST.)
I love teaching about so many topics including; animals, social studies/geography, science, life skills, and reading/fluency skills. 
I have taught for 14 years in brick and mortar schools and online for 5 years, including 3 years of ESL/ESOL. I am TESOL certified. I have experience with the Orton-Gillingham (OG) reading program and teaching kids with ADHD and Dyslexia. I struggled as a learner so understand that everyone learns differently. I like to get to know my students and what they enjoy learning. 
I touch on the various ways we learn by hearing, seeing, doing, and talking about the topics. 
I am the proud mom of two older boys, ages 22 and 18. I also love animals and have a CUTE dog named Myles and snake named Harley! (You can meet Harley in my Introduction to Snakes class.)
I live in Arizona and enjoy traveling. I have been to Mexico, Israel, England, and most recently Japan. 
If your child is between the ages of 5 - 12 and they are interested in a topic that hasn't been listed yet on Outschool, please message me and I'll see if I can create it. 

Please, see a list of my classes below by subject. If you feel your learner would be a good fit and they are younger or older than the listed age range, please email me. Not sure which would be the best class? Message me and I'll suggest the right fit.
