Our shared goals:
> Students will improve their phonemic awareness skills such as blending sounds, segmenting/"sounding out", deletion and addition of sounds and letters to make new words.
> Students will use their knowledge of word structure patterns (vowels and consonants) to improve spelling, memory, pronunciation, and rhyming skills. 
> Students will grow their knowledge base of sight words and increase their automaticity when reading for fluency.
> Students will increase their reading independence of grade level stories, articles, and letters.
> Students will practice social learning (listening) and discussion skills (optional) when communicating and sharing comprehension aspects.
> Students will use their reading and vocabulary skills to refer to key words, statements, and images in a sentence or story that provide context for understanding guided questions.

Hi! I'm Ms. Chapman and I have spent the past 8 years teaching school-aged children how to read! I have incorporated individualized educational plan strategies (IEPs), behavioral therapy strategies (BIPs), and public school strategies (lesson differentiation) to create as realistic-as-possible fun and engaging online reading class! I call myself a reading specialist, but you can just call me Ms. Chapman or Ms. C! I LOVE to read and I will happily help your student learn to read, and hopefully they, too, will love reading too! Either way, learning to read with me is always an experience that has allowed my students to better engage in their future classrooms and find success completing their next grade-level expectations in all subjects, in addition to English and Literature. Thank you for pursuing reading mastery!

Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Learners will be assessed throughout the classes and their progress will be monitored and confidentially filed until the end of their enrollment. *At parent/guardian request, the teacher will email individualized feedback for their student at the end of the requested week to keep parents informed on their students' progress.
*Student progress is not sent automatically, it is sent after a parent or guardian request. This is to better protect the privacy of the direct electronic delivery and receipt of the student's progress. Parent's must include an actively checked email when submitting their request (preferably one that is set up with email notifications on one of their devices). 
Grades Offered

We will follow a model similar to the Wonder's reading progression to outline our weekly reading skills. Selected lessons and words are extensions of the Wonder's reading program and identified reading patterns. This modified learn-to-read model is based on direct and successful experiences with teaching students how to read. Ms. Chapman and her MasteryMind by Comhumity team create sentences and stories that are skill-targeted, engaging, and modified to meet the various needs of learners!
