Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(158)

Class experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Intermediate Level
As an extension of our first Pet Tales story time class, students will meet 1 time per week for 5 weeks to listen to MORE books about pets and to share their own pet stories with the class. Comprehension skills will be reviewed through questioning as we read. Good readers use prior knowledge, make predictions, summarize, question, infer, visualize, and make inferences. It is important for children to be able to comprehend what they read--but HOW does that happen? Students must apply...
This class is taught in English.
The goal of the class is to review reading comprehension strategies and encourage story telling and good verbal communication skills. Research shows that our pets can help reduce stress and anxiety, so students will have a boost of courage with their best friend right by their side!

Homework Offered
Students are asked to participate in questioning and storytelling during the class period. Parents can also practice reading comprehension strategies at home: 1. Be sure you have your child's attention. 2. Minimize distractions. 3. As you read, have students repeat phrases back to you. 4. Ask yourself questions while you read…”I wonder why…” 5. Use “wait time.” Give students a minute to think before repeating your question. 6. Check for understanding. Ask them to repeat the question back to you. 7. Help students make connections between the book and their own experiences! 8. For emergent writers, always pair writing and drawing together! Draw and write with them!Assessments Offered
Students will be assessed informally through participation, questioning, and their respectful interaction with peers (taking turns and encouraging others). We will focus on comprehension, fluency, listening, vocabulary, oral communication!Grades Offered
Students should bring their pet to class--whether it be a dog, a cat, a turtle, fish, or their favorite stuffed animal they consider their pet! After we read the story, students will have the opportunity to take turns sharing stories about their own pets who join us in class! The following books will be read aloud to your child over the duration of the class. Because the stories are read aloud, there is no need to purchase copies of the book. I will read them to your child. Book Sequence: Day 1: Hamster Sitter Wanted by Tracy Gunaratnam Day 2: Strictly No Elephants by Lisa Manchev Day 3: Can I Be Your Dog? by Troy Cummings Day 4: I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff Day 5: Truman by Jean Reidy
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
