Class Experience

In this class, students practice making predictions before and during reading as a comprehension strategy. We will read and listen to selections from various books and poems as we practice making predictions during this class. Students will be encouraged to draw or jot down ideas at different points during class and to share their predictions with the class. We will then take time to make and share our predictions. We will talk about if our predictions were "right on, close, or we were surprised". Making predictions while reading is a key strategy for reading comprehension. The class will be interactive and students will be encouraged to share and engage in conversation. Reading comprehension is one of my favorite academic areas to teach. Be on the lookout for other classes in this reading comprehension series. 

Class 1: Making Predictions Before Reading / How Can Predicting Help you? / Predicting Words
Class 2: Making Predictions Before Reading / How Can Predicting Help you? / Predicting Words and Events
Class 3: Making Predictions During Reading / How Can Predicting Help you? / Predicting Events
Class 4: Show What You Know...Student-Led Predicting Review

Other Details

Supply List
Students should bring paper and a pencil to each class. 

Students should all bring a book to class 3. They will show classmates the cover and lead a brief discussion about what words or events we predict will be in their book. Each students will have a few minutes to lead and then show us some of the pictures from their book to help us see it we were "right on, close, or surprised".

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Families,
My name is Danielle Day. I have a passion for inspiring young learners! I have a degree in Elementary Education. I have taught in both homeschool and public elementary school settings over the the last 18 years. I have also taught ESL online.  Aside from teaching, I have coached basketball and a Building Brick League Team. I think learning should be authentic, engaging, and fun! My husband and I have 3 sons. As a family, we enjoy playing games, reading, riding our bikes, building with building bricks, and exploring nature. 

- If you do not see dates listed for a class, that does not mean that I'm no long teaching the class or that it isn't awesome. It just means that right now, I have more class ideas than available hours in the day. I try to balance opening a variety of classes and leaving myself some time to be able to accommodate requested classes. Please never hesitate to send me a message requesting that I open more sessions of a class! 

I hope to meet your learner(s) in class soon!
Have a great day,
Mrs. Day
