Kids LOVE to tell you what they think! Cupcakes or ice cream? Swinging or sliding? Skills covered include, listening, speaking, connecting to a story, sharing thoughts and putting them into a spoken and then written sentence.  We discuss ideas for a written response and then work together to write an opinion piece.  Students will share their opinion and at least one reason to support that opinion. My job is to coach your learner through putting their idea into a manageable sentence and then stretching out words as they write the letter along with me.  High Frequency words will also be covered as part of the writing process.  The course is limited to 6 students to allow learners to share ideas with each other through conversations and to work through writing sentences together. Learners should be able to write most letters of the alphabet and have some knowledge of letter sounds. Each class will be based on a different topic, so students are welcome to take this class more than once. English language learners are encouraged to attend!
