Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Advanced Level
Learners are invited to join the fun as we explore a reading skill of their choice. Using a multimedia interactive learning guide, learners will use videos, stories, and interactive activities to learn about the reading skill they chose, how to apply it, and get practice applying it.

Once registered for the class, learners will tell me which reading skill they’ve chosen to explore. I will send them a link to the appropriate LINKtivity® Interactive Learning Guide and the student activity pages. After exploring, learners are encouraged to check out the “Show What You Know” section in the classroom. 

*This is a one-week, learner-directed SELF-PACED class. Learners can only choose one reading skill to explore in each class. If they would like to explore more than one, they are welcome to register for the class again. I encourage them to explore them all!
