This is an ongoing Reading class for 2nd graders but this is also great class for a students who is struggling in their current grade (3rd grade), a student who just needs to keep up their reading skills, or a student who wants to be challenged with new reading materials (1st graders). 

This class will meet once a week to help students improve their fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension all while being taught in a positive and engaging class. Students will read a new passage each week, answer questions by finding the evidence in the story, and work on writing complete sentences to answer questions all while learning to become a more confident reader!

Each week, as a warm up activity, we will work on word work to improve reading. The topic of each class will be explained before the reading passage. 

Some other skills we will be working on while reading are:
-Speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue
