This PRIVATE ongoing 10 week class will focus on reading accuracy, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. We will read a short, fun book at the beginning of every class. I will listen for accuracy and fluency. Fluency is the ability for someone to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently. We will then think about what was read and fill out a "Story Map" together. The "Story Map" is available for print out once the class has been purchased. The student can bring a story map to each class or we can write it on the screen. Story maps are very helpful with reading comprehension. We will focus on 5 vocabulary words with each story. This is very helpful especially if the student is an ESL student. There will also be a handout provided that allows the student to write the moral of the story in complete sentences. This is a great opportunity for your learner to really think about what the story is really telling us. I feel students thrive and improve when the teacher is patient and creates a relaxed but structured class environment. Since this is a 1 on 1 class, the class will go at the student's pace, addressing anything that the student may need to work on. I hope to see your reader in class and enjoy reading books together!!! π
Learning Goals
Students will determine the moral of the story and how they can apply it in their lives.

Hello! My name is Kandy Bickart and I live in North Carolina, USA. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, an Associate Degree in Biological Science and a TESOL certificate.
I've always had a passion for teaching. I have over 15 years teaching experience both in the classroom and online. I taught in the elementary school level and then became an instructor at my local Community College in the GED and ESL program. I have also enjoyed teaching ESL online to children for the past six years.
BOB CLASSES - I have designed courses for both preschool, elementary ages and ESL students. My courses have unique content with entertaining and informative slideshow. I have included a fun puppet friend named Bob throughout the slideshows, which allows the students to be truly engaged while learning.
READING/WRITING CLASSES - I also have an ongoing reading and writing course with the Wonders Curriculum. I have tried to make it more fun and engaging by presenting it in a slideshow with videos, animations and sound effects. Learning to read and write has never been so much fun!
PHONICS - I have recently added a phonics ongoing course using the Star Curriculum, which uses a fun, interactive and animated slideshow.
SPEAKING CLASSES - I use an effective concept created by Cambridge University that presents a colorful picture with a lot of action going on. This gives a shy student or a student that loves to talk the opportunity to tell me all what they see. I have added some fun activities to keep the student engaged.
READING CLASSES - There are two separate reading course, beginner first grade and mid-year second grade. I have animated the short stories which makes them even more engaging. We learn phonics, reading comprehension and more.
I believe that children learn best in a relaxed but structured environment that encourages them to express themselves. I also feel that children should have fun while they are learning! So FUN is always part of my lesson plan!
I am looking forward to meeting and teaching your little learner.
