Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 5
This class will support elementary-aged students with extra reading practice to understand fiction and non-fiction texts better. Each session will focus on reading 1-2 short stories. or passages together, then answer comprehension questions to check for understanding of the text. Vocabulary words in the text will be discussed and we will use context clues to figure out unknown words. Each fiction story will focus on specific skills including setting, characters, plot, and problem/solution. Non-fiction stories will highlight text features and information learned about a particular topic. 
Some strategies used in class are:
 Activating and Using Background Knowledge ~ This strategy requires readers to activate their background knowledge and use it to help them understand what they are reading.
Generating and Asking Questions ~ This strategy involves making connections in three different ways: text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world.

Students will improve their understanding of fiction and non-fiction texts with practice.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Iowa Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello, my name is Kathleen Bernath Jenkins and I am a recently retired elementary public school teacher in Missouri. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a master's degree in differentiated instructional methods. Most recently, I have taught fourth-grade students the core academic skills: reading, grammar, writing, math, science, and social studies.
     I have a passion for teaching children the skills needed for them to be successful citizens. I believe all children can achieve success at school by differentiating instructional methods, which allows for individual growth and expression. My approach to teaching is to focus on best practices, those proven to be successful across all educational settings: teacher modeling and interaction with students, setting clear objectives at the start of each lesson, encouraging group participation, and debriefing together at the close of a lesson.
     Besides my love of teaching, I also have a greenhouse and enjoy growing and propagating plants, especially tropical and rare varieties!
