What's included
24 live meetings
12 in-class hoursMastery Evaluation
1 hour per week. Individual fluency checks and progress monitoring based on words per minute, accuracy, and prosody. Each student will have one on one evaluation once a week reading a fluency passage. I will mark any missed words and review with student to allow a chance for improvement. Student will be asked to practice the passage and have a reevaluation as needed, to achieve higher level words per minute. Encouraging growth and building fluent readers.Progress Report
Fluency progress will be monitored each week throughout the course. A progress report at the beginning of the course will document words read per minute and each week during the course. A final evaluation of all 24 prefixes will be given to determine learned meaning of words.Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
Class Experience Students will participate in a 3 part drill process based on the science of reading and Orton-Gillingham trainings. The methods will be used to teach prefixes, suffixes, Latin and Greek. Each set course will only focus on one morphology type and will change after each 6 week session. The IMSE 3 part drill includes: auditory, visual, and blending. I will also incorporate writing, comprehension and fluency in each session. The fluency check will include a "cold/hot" read with a level appropriate fluency passage. Followed by a comprehension discussion question. I offer a multi-modality teaching style which is covered in the 3 part drill process. This course is interactive and will include student led discussions and participation.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to read fluency passage at appropriate level with expected progressStudents will understand the meanings of specific prefixes, suffixes, Latin or Greek roots
