Reading Intervention for Elementary Students

This class is taught in English.

Students will improve their reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary skills. Students will receive practice in the following:
- Comprehension skills: summarizing, predicting, making connections, analyzing characters, inferencing, comparing and contrasting, cause and effect, context clues, and drawing conclusions (fiction and nonfiction text)
- Grammar: contractions, plurals, adjectives, nouns, suffixes, conjunctions, pronouns, verbs, and  homophones
- Vocabulary: words found in-text to help build comprehension 

Common Core Standards
Students will:
- Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.3.3; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.4.3; & CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.5.3)
- Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.3.4; CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.4.4; & CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.5.4)

As a classroom teacher, I have helped students who were below grade level improve their fluency and comprehension skills. I currently use a similar program with my tutoring students who have not only showed improvement in reading but have become more confident in their abilities as well. 

Reading may be assigned for practice. All passages range from approximately 200 - 300 words.

Teacher will informally assess fluency and comprehension through classroom participation.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

Teacher will use Nearpod for some classes. Students will not need to sign up and they will only have access during class time with a teacher-provided link. Google Slides will be available for students for reading passages. Materials are age and grade-appropriate, however, parental guidance is recommended. Links used in the course will be provided before class for parents to review beforehand.
