includedClass Experience
This is a weekly class where the students will read through a set number of chapters of a literary classic each week. Each class we will be discussing the chapters we read, going over vocabulary for the chapters and answering discussion questions. Every student will need a copy of the books and each week they will need to read the chapters before the next class. We will start with Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Other books will be picked during class by the students. Students are expected to actively participate during class and with the assigned reading and writing prompts each week.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Southern Nazarene University
I have already taught a novel study on the books, Jane Eyre, Anne of Green Gables and Little Women along with many more. This class will put them all together in one place. I have always loved to read and I enjoy sharing that love with students as they discuss and learn vocabulary for the books. I have worked with and taught children for over 15 years in different ways, ESL online, book studies, phonics and preschool lessons, substituting, and teaching. I look forward to helping your student grow their literary knowledge and love for reading.Reviews
