I bring 35 years of teaching of which half of these I was a very challenged reader, and the other half has focused on teaching reading and comprehension with students both young and old. I dropped out of college after 2 years because of my significant reading and comprehension problem. It was many years later that I read Adler’s book which was on my son’s homeschool reading list. It revolutionized both my reading and learning 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve read an average of 3 books a week and can recall 1-2 of the main points of most of those books because of this reading technique. 

There will be an average of 1 hour of homework for class. This will include weekly assignments that follow the class lesson that will integrate with the Student Book Project Presentations.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
