Intermediate Level
This is an ongoing reading class that gives each student the opportunity to learn new phonics fundamentals (through review, supportive correction, repetition, etc.), practice reading aloud, enhance reading comprehension (through engaging class discussion, picture drawing, etc.), improve pronunciation, strengthen active listening skills (participating in cooperative activities, engaging thoughtfully in discussions, etc.), and practice their writing skills (note taking, etc). In each class, students will read a short story, discuss the message of the book, use critical thinking to determine what they have learned from the story, and apply encouragement to one another through words of affirmation.
Learning Goals
Develop phonics fundamentals through guided reading practice with supportive corrections for accuracy and clarity.
Enhance reading comprehension by engaging in thoughtful class discussions that analyze the story's message.
Other Details
Learning Needs
I am sure to support different learning needs as I keep each student engaged in a class that is student-centered. I will include multi-sensory teaching methods and progress at the pace that the material is understood by the student.
Parental Guidance
Students will need a Zoom account to join the class and participate in the video chat. I will share my screen to present reading materials from resources such as Storyberries, Monkey Pen, freechildrenstories.com, americanliterature.com, and weareteachers.com. However, only a Zoom account is required.
Supply List
Students may need a piece of paper and a pencil.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I chose to get a Bachelor's in Biblical Studies and Biblical Counseling at the College of Biblical Studies, as well as my TEFL certificate through International TEFL Academy. I enjoyed working at The Goddard School, which is a preschool where I was blessed to have the opportunity to teach and care for children as a teacher assistant. I have also thoroughly enjoyed working as an online ESL tutor for Cambly, as well as working as a reading tutor for BookNook. I have a great personal interest in writing and a passion for helping others grow to love learning in general.
