Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 4
This is a private class with only one student enrolled at a time.  The student will be reading to a sulcata tortoise.  Reading to animals is very therapeutic, as animals are non judgmental.  I will only step in and help the child during reading if they ask for help with a word.   If the child would like, I will also read after they have finished their story and if there is still time in class.. I have several picture books about turtles and tortoises that I will use during my reading time.  If the student prefers to continue reading instead of me reading a book, I will gladly honor their request as I would like them to read as much of the class time as possible.  This is meant to be a fun and relaxing way to help readers feel no pressure. The student will need to bring the book of their choice to class to read to the tortoise.

Disclosure, your child needs to be willing and able to read at least a simple picture book to take this class.   It is for practicing reading, not teaching reading skills.

Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
I take my tortoises to libraries frequently to let children read to them. It is such great fun to see them get excited about reading.
