Welcome to our comprehensive reading skills course designed specifically for later elementary and middle school students who may be struggling to catch up with their peers. 🌟 In this course, we prioritize two key objectives: teaching essential reading skills and nurturing a love for reading. As students navigate the challenges of middle school, we understand that reading often takes a back seat. However, we firmly believe that strong reading skills are fundamental to success in all subjects. ❤️ We firmly believe that strong reading skills are fundamental to success in all subjects. Our course is designed to address this need by providing engaging and interactive activities, exploring a variety of texts and genres, and offering opportunities for choice and exploration. By instilling a passion for reading, we aim to motivate students to continue learning and growing as readers, ensuring they have the tools they need to excel academically and beyond. Join us as we embark on a journey to unlock the joys of reading and unleash the potential of every student. 🍏 This is a Flipped Structured Course. This simply means that students will complete assignments before each class. This will ensure that each student has practice in numerous skills and will help them to develop and stregthen many English Language Arts components as well as develop a love of reading. Assignments will be give on Day 1 and 3 and class will meet on day 2 and 4. This structure ensures the students grow and increase their ability continuously. It also teaches students to grow beyond the classroom by introducing techniques and genre that interest middle school students. Day 1: Homework: assignments or scheduled Day 2. Class Meeting: loving literature, Reading, and More Day 3: Homework: Practice Skills Assignment Day 4: Class Meeting: Skills work and Review 🌈 I work hard to ensure that students become excited about reading and the reading process. This often includes interaction with students and self assigned task, as well as teaching special skills that will assist students far beyond this class. We also play games, talk and learning becomes fun. For learning to become more fun and engaging, students must master certain skills so throughout this course, I will assist students in mastering these skills. 😻 This course will cover numerous reading techniques and skills. Students will practice skills to improve comprehension, critical thinking, vocabulary growth, structure syntax and so much more. 🐛 Students who sign up for this class might also like to sign up for a novel study. "Dear Mr Henshaw" is a great story to begin with or " A Wrinkle in Time" Check out my other courses and get signed up. Also follow my page to get updates on classes that might benefit you tremendously. 📖 I look forward to meeting your child and helping them to grow in reading.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of North Carolina Pembroke
I have a degree in Education and experience teaching elementary and middle school students. My classes are centered around English Language Arts and I have experience teaching ESL students. I am Tosel and TEFL certified.
Hello, I am Ms Velvet
ABOUT ME: As a teacher I believe that we should provide students with the skills and opportunity to learn and grow. I think that students are more apt to care what you know, when they know that you care and I hope that I live that philosophy out in my classroom. I am excited about teaching and passionate to guide students learning.
Personally, I absolutely love reading. There is a book by Dr Suess that really does so much more than entertain. It is called " Oh, the Places You Will Go." This book truly sets people of all ages up for success! While there are many quotes I could pull from this fabulous writing, my favorite is “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” - This quote emphasizes the idea of self-direction and the ability to choose your own path. I hope my guidance leads others to develop the confidence to choose the right path for them.
WHAT MAKES ME QUALIFIED: I am an experienced teacher in the classroom setting. I have experience online as well. I started teaching virtually with my local school district about 4 years ago, in the Southern USA. Now, I'm teaching virtually on outschool, to students all over the world.
I currently teach middle school classes as well as upper elementary classes. My classes are centered on English Language Arts and ESL. I teach ELA Homeschool, Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Speaking, Vocabulary, Poetry, Literature, English as a Second Language, and more.
I have multiple degrees in Education. I am completing my certification as a registered IEW Writing Instructor. I am also certified in TOSEL and TEFL as an ESL Instructor. As you can probably see, Im a firm believer in continued education practices.

MESSAGE ME: For questions or comments regarding my class offers, curriculum, and more, please message me. I am here to ensure that your child has a great experience on outschool.
REVIEW MY CLASS: Being a newer teacher on outschool, I do not yet have many reviews. You can change that for me. Take a class with me and let me know what you think. Do you like my style, how I am with the students, what I teach? Are there things that you would like to see in our virtual classroom? Let's work together to grow our learners knowledge and build up each other's lives.
