***NEW SECTIONS START SOON!!!***

This on-going reading series will help students grow a love for history and stories with an interactive reading of the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborne!

Classes meet THREE times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!

A NEW BOOK EACH WEEK! 


Ahoy, Young Historians! Welcome to THE MAGIC TREE HOUSE! Join me on a weekly adventure with Jack and Annie in the Magic Tree House as we explore history through an interactive reading of Mary Pope Osborne's classic series! 

If your child is experiencing difficulty "paying attention" during story time than this is the class for you! 

During each session, learners will listen to a dramatic reading of that week's selected book. Students will be asked questions about themes, characters, settings, and HISTORY as they discuss the book. As learners listen-along with each tale, we will stop after each chapter to discuss important topics! 

Classes are designed to be fun and entertaining, allowing young readers to immerse themselves within the stories and focus their energies on the development of crucial comprehension skills. Increased listening and reading comprehension has been proven to increase student abilities in both language arts and the sciences by allowing learners to access a wider array of cognitive reasoning skills developed through simple entertainment of reading!  

This class focuses on harboring a love for reading by allowing students to develop a relationship with their reading material through social interaction. The goal is to instill a love for reading at an early age with a strong focus on comprehension. By captivating readers' interest through a dramatic reading of the narrative, timid readers can begin to strengthen their reading comprehension skills and concentrate their energies on understanding the structural elements of the story.

Stories will be read aloud to the learners using a variety of character voices and analog sound effects. This type of reading goes beyond mere "story time" and helps young readers to focus on the underlying emotional/historical subtexts within each narrative. 

Learners are encouraged to ask questions during the reading to enhance their understanding of the story. As reading comprehension develops, these questions will gradually become more complex and young readers harness the power of their own (super hero voice) CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS! 

I work hard to cater to the needs of each of my learners to promote their reading comprehension and creativity skills, while offering a fun environment to play and learn together!

Physical/Digital copies of the books are not required for this course. Utilizing Zoom's "share screen" feature, I am able to share the contents of each book directly on the screen. 

I look forward to meeting all of my young historians and adventurers!!
