In this 4 week course, students will meet twice weekly to practice writing sentences from dictation with a focus on spelling patterns and rules, commonly confused words, homophones, and Grammar/Usage/Punctuation. Each class will have a set of focus skills, and at the beginning of the class, we will review each rule, pattern, and discuss the homophones that will be present in the sentences. Students will be given a sentence orally and will be expected to write it correctly on a whiteboard (whiteboards are easier to see over the video camera). Our class goal will be to write and discuss ten sentences for each lesson. These classes will be casual and comfortable and students are able to ask for the sentences to be repeated as many times as necessary. Students will be provided with the complete sentence list for reference at the end of each class if they'd like further practice. The teacher will address any student misconceptions and use class time for instruction on difficult skills. If your learner enjoys this course, there will be future sessions provided that cover new rules and focus skills! These classes are a great way to improve your writing skills. Previous courses are not required. I can't wait to meet your learner!

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Mrs. Rebecca. I have taught every subject, grades third through sixth and kindergarten, in public schools in Kentucky since 2007. I have also taught classes online for many years, helping students learn the English language. I have my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Elementary Education. I have a technology endorsement along with my Master's degree, and my graduate and undergraduate degrees are from Western Kentucky University. I’m also a Google Certified Educator. I am a mom to three beautiful girls, and I love to read, cook, and spend time with my family. I love spending time with my 3 dogs, too!
I am passionate about teaching and learning. My approach to teaching is founded on forming positive, genuine relationships with my students and their families. I am a firm believer that students will learn best when they feel a mutual respect with their teacher in the classroom. I love to have fun in the classroom, but more importantly, I want my lessons to be relevant to my students. I want them to leave my classes knowing that what they have learned will impact their everyday lives.Reviews
