Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 8

Not only is reading an essential life skill, but it can be a source of entertainment. In this course, students in 7th and 8th grade dive into classic novels for this age group. Meant for struggling readers, or those who need some additional support (dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, learning disabilities, language disorders), the instructor, a certified Reading Specialist, will guide students with:
*Reading comprehension
*Plot structure
*Characterization (direct and indirect)
*Vocabulary
*Quote...

Students will improve their reading comprehension skills by answering questions and participating in discussions.
Students will gain knowledge of new vocabulary words by completing a graphic organizer and participating in discussions. 
Students will learn/review plot elements (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution) by participating in discussions. 
Students will analyze text evidence for characterization, and theme by participating in a discussion.

A certified Teacher of English (K-12) and Reading Specialist (P-12) with over ten years of teaching experience with students in grades 6-12.
