In this read aloud, Devon Makes A Friend, by Jessica Davault, we will follow a boy's journey as he learns to make friends. Students can learn more about social awareness as we discuss this complex social skill. We will list and connect with strategic steps to master how to make a friend. While reading the learner will have opportunities to use prediction while also sharing personal connections. Then learners can help to retell parts of the story , share the main idea, and discuss the problem and resolution in the story. These are all important skills to enhance reading comprehension. My goal is to create an environment where students can take risks, have fun and enjoy learning. Please bring paper and pencil or crayons or white board so the student can draw with me after class.

I love to teach many different types of reading and English classes. I enjoy teaching pre reading skills as well as word work and grammar. This includes English as a second language to students who want to improve their English skills. I have taught 32 years in the public schools. There I taught most grade levels, but really fell in love with writing. I also taught English as a second language to children in my school district at all levels. I then taught English with Chinese students online. I spent some time working in administration to help other teachers find the skills they needed to be successful in the classroom. I believe that all students can grow and learn when they are inspired and when their stress level is low. Making the classroom fun, encouraging students and acknowledging their success will help achieve their ability to learn. Aside from teaching, I love to travel, care for my pet dog and cheer for my son in his hockey games.
