Reading Workshop for Struggling Readers

This class is best for students who are reading at  Kindergarten or first-grade level and those who are struggling with reading.  This class will support students who are still sounding out words, guessing, making a lot of errors when reading, and having trouble reading simple, unfamiliar words. Older students who are reading at this level are welcome.

This class is designed to provide long-term reading support. This class is grounded in the principles of the Science of Reading, adhering to a structured literacy approach. 

This is a great fit for students with special education needs.

- Learner Expectations: The learner should be kind, safe, and respectful. 

 Small group classes allow each student time to practice reading and allow me to provide immediate corrective feedback. These two practices are crucial for struggling learners.
