In this class, students will practice important reading and writing skills while having fun and being creative! Each week will focus on a different aspect of Language Arts: reading, writing, grammar, or the arts (such as studying poetry or reading plays). Students will learn how to write different kinds of paragraphs as well as stories, poems, and letters. At times we will also review parts of speech, proofread and learn about correct grammar, and have discussions about the plays and stories we read in class. Each subject will be presented in a clear way and will involve activities and practice to help students enjoy what they are learning. These classes are very interactive, with time for students to ask and answer questions, give examples, and share ideas. Our classes often include a writing time for students to practice what they have learned, as well as a sharing time for them to share what they have written if they would like! 

This class is designed for students who would like some extra practice and review in their Language Arts skills, but any student is welcome! It is an ongoing class, so students can jump in and out of the class at any time. I can't wait to meet your students and help them learn to love Language Arts! 

I keep my classes going all year and continue to update the schedule with dates and class topics. Please see my available sections for current class times and check out the schedule below for our upcoming topics.

I also have a version of this class that covers the same topics, but meets twice/week:

Looking for something a little different? I also offer a Theatre Play Reading class where students ages 8-12 can practice reading out loud in a fun environment!

- GAMES WEEK -
On the week of or before a holiday I often have “game week” during class. We play games like "guess the word," fill out a kids' Mad Lib together, read a play, etc. These activities are fun, but at times still give students some reading, writing, parts of speech, or spelling practice. Please note that although game weeks are often held alongside holidays, they do not have a holiday "theme." These classes include games and activities that all students can participate in, at any time of year!

- ONGOING CLASSES -

Learn to Love Language Arts is an ongoing class, or a subscription. You will be charged for the upcoming week every Sunday and can cancel or unsubscribe anytime. 
Refunds are not automatically given when a student misses a class, but the lesson recordings are available to review after class (as long as at least one student attended class). You are also welcome to use the "pause subscription" feature that Outschool offers if you would like to stay enrolled, but need to miss certain class times.
