Class Experience
US Grade 4 - 7
The course is a five-day reading comprehension course for students with a fifth-grade reading level. Each session is one hour long and will cover one In the Know nonfiction article, comprehension questions, vocabulary activity, and a writing response activity. The writing response activity is an assignment the students complete outside of the classroom. When the writing response activity is completed, the student will post for teacher feedback. Activities for each session: 1. Before reading:...
- Students will improve their reading comprehension by practicing skills of identifying main ideas and details, making inferences, using compare and contrast skills, using summarizing skills, and writing responses to assignments designed to reflect their understanding of specific concepts presented in each nonfiction article.
As a reading specialist, I am offering this class to provide students with assistance to improve reading comprehension skills.
