Intermediate Level
This class will continue to spark the joy of reading in each learner. Lessons are structured around activities that will meet each child's individual level. My teaching style encourages confidence in readers through interactive games, reading circles and creating written sentence puzzles. This class will include short reviews of foundational phonics from previous levels 1-10, spelling, vocabulary, recognizing nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, homophones, main ideas, supporting details, author viewpoint and drawing conclusions from reading passages. I look forward to continuing with my learners and helping each one become a more fluent reader!
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate growth and confidence in reading, and the ability to use phonics and text feature clues through interactive games and activities.
