Class Experience

Join Us for "Read-Aloud Adventures!" Get ready for a fun-filled journey into the world of stories! "Read-Aloud Adventures" is perfect for kids aged 7-10 who want to dive into different types of tales each week. From fairy tales to mysteries, every week brings a new genre to explore.

In this class, you’ll hear exciting stories brought to life with expressive reading, showing you how to add tone, expression, and the perfect pace to your own reading. Then, it’s your turn to practice! You’ll get to read aloud, too, building your confidence and fluency as you go.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ll also play games and do activities that help you understand the stories even better. Whether it’s solving word puzzles or discussing what makes a story a mystery or a fantasy, you’ll be learning without even realizing it!

Meeting once a week for 50 minutes, this interactive and engaging class is all about making reading fun, improving your skills, and discovering the magic in every story. Come join the adventure!
