US Grade 3
Reading comprehension and expressive writing go hand-in-hand. Learners are taught strategies that increasing their ability to understand, interpret, answer questions, sound out unfamiliar words, develop good vocabulary, make the connection as they express their thoughts in their writing. 

Learners will read aloud with their Teacher and other learners in the class. Together we will discuss the sequence of events, retell stories, discuss parts of a story [characters, setting, plot, problem, solution], predict and discuss ends and how the learner might change the ending and dictate their own. We'll read stories such as tall tales, fairy tales, fables, nursery rhymes, etc. and work on developing good vocabulary which is mostly learned through reading.

For learners to improve their English writing skills they have to practice writing as often as possible. Learners will begin to write sight words, simple phrases and short two, three, four and five word sentences. 

Learners will review grammar and spelling basics which are the foundation of good writing. The more a learner writes, the better writer a learner will become.

Below is a general outline and structure of each class. This class is ongoing and each week is self-contained so learners can enroll at any time. It is highly recommended that a learner make a commitment to be involved in this course week after week to get the full benefit of improving their reading comprehension and expressive writing skills.
