Private Class: Intensive English Reading Skill Building for ESL Learners

In this eight week session, learner meets 2X a week for intensive one-on-one reading skills development, practice and review, building a solid foundation and acquiring new skills while preparing the learner for greater success in reading in English. These classes are designed especially for English as a second language learners. 

Learner will incorporate phonics and review vowels, their sounds [short, long] with a focus on their sounds, practice decoding, review grade appropriate sight words, blends, digraphs, various diphthongs, grammar, spelling rules and spelling patterns, R-controlled vowels, vocabulary, pronunciation, syllabication, and practice oral reading [individual, paired and shared reading with the Teacher], comprehension and fluency [including accuracy, pace and expression]. A learner always learns better when having fun so we'll play educational word games to reinforce what is taught.

Learner will spend time actually reading, learning to understand what's been read, use context clues, ask questions, answer open ended questions, draw inferences and conclusions, and use critical thinking skills.

Learner will be assessed to determine baseline skills and an individual learning plan will be customized and implemented for the learner.

Learners continue for eight weeks, meeting two times a week as they work intently  improving their fundamental understanding of reading, improve their reading level, comprehension and critical thinking skills. This six week intensive skill building session will help the learner becoming a more proficient reader. Learners are encouraged to continue additional eight-week sessions.

For educational and academic purposes, camera and mic must be working and on at all times throughout each session.
