Reading is more fun when the subject is interesting, and what could be more fun than the exotic and agile cheetah, nicknamed the Greyhound of the Desert? In this class learners will sharpen their reading skills, word recognition, sounding out of syllables and reading comprehension. Along with other materials supplied by the instructor, we will use the book, "National Geographic Readers: Cheetahs" by Laure Marsh. Please be sure to secure a copy of this book prior to the start of class. (Electronic versions are acceptable for.) Although our reading materials will all be about the cheetah, our emphasis is on reading and comprehension. It will not be required that learners read the materials outside of class, but it will add substantially to their progress if they do.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there! My name is Ms Cher, and I can't wait to meet you. I love gardening, wildlife, and just about anything related to nature. I am a certified Master Gardener, a National Wildlife Federation Habitat Steward, and a National Wildlife Federation Monarch Steward. I love to share my excitement about the natural world with classes on subjects like bird watching, nature crafts, herb gardening, Monarch butterflies, and more!
I have years of experience teaching workshops for kids in Girl Scouts and 4-H ... I've even taught babysitting and basic first aid classes for the American Red Cross.
I am a past high school forensics coach for one of the largest high school campuses in Michigan. I have coached many state finalists, as well as a state champion. I have judging credentials at the tournament, District and State Competition levels. Although my main duties were coaching public address competitors, I have coached dozens of interpretive competitors as well. I am a past member of the NFL, or National Forensics League - a nationwide organization that gives high school students the opportunity to polish their speaking skills and compete in regulated National tournaments.
I am also a writer of non-fiction, with well over 1000 published articles for entities such as Yahoo News, Home Depot, Quaker Oats, Curves, and many more.
I believe the best way for young people to learn is through games and hands-on activities, and I try to build those into each class I offer.
I love music in any form and am a proficient flutist. I have given flute lessons to dozens of students over the years and plan to begin giving lessons here on Outschool as well.
Oh - and I'm a Pokemon Go expert - Level 48!
Academically, I hold a BSBA in Marketing, and an AAS in Environmental Science.Reviews
