In this fun and exciting class, your child will take an adventure to the Roman Empire. They will get to join Jack and Annie in an attempt to save the ancient city of Pompeii before it is destroyed! They will be so excited and captivated by the lesson and story content that they won't even notice that they are becoming better readers. Since this class is reading based, your child will need to be able to read at a basic level and be at least somewhat comfortable with reading aloud. This book has a reading level of 1.9. In each class, students will be given an opportunity to practice their reading skills. They will read aloud sections of the book. We will also learn skills that will make your child a better reading. Each lesson will include vocabulary from the chapters that we will be reading in class. We will practice summarizing and sequencing events in the story to encourage good reading comprehension. We will also practice making predictions about what will happen next. All of these skills are essential to developing strong readers! Day 1: We will introduce the book. Students will read and answer comprehension questions for chapters 1-2. Students will read chapters 3-4 for homework. Day 2: We will read and answer comprehension questions for chapters 5-6. Students will read chapters 7-8 for homework. Day 3. We will read and answer comprehension questions for chapters 9-10. We will discuss the book as well as characters and setting.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Liberty University
Hello! My name is Kristen Freeman! I love to teach, and I have been a teacher for the last 5 years. I love Language Arts, History, Phonics, Reading, and Writing! I believe that learning should be fun and exciting because learning is the most amazing thing. I am a wife, a stay at home mom, and a part time teacher!
I have a strong passion for education. I have a Bachelor's degree in education with a minor in child psychology! I have been a teacher for the last 6 years and have taught ESL online for the past 2 years. I have taught children of all ages during my teaching career, and I think that learning should be exciting no matter how old you are!
While I enjoy all types of classes, I am super passionate about reading, writing, and grammar! Children often struggle with these core areas and since they are the basis of education, they soon come to dislike reading and then learning. I believe that all children can learn and that sometimes it takes a different approach to unlock learning a new concept! That is why my classes focus on exciting approaches to basic content! Reviews
