Class experience
Many learners face the same problem when reading. They can read each individual word, but when they've finished a paragraph or a page, they can't remember what they read. The secret is that "good readers" aren't born, they're made. Readers use a variety of strategies while they're reading to stay focused and remember what they read, even if they don't realize they're doing it! In this class, we'll learn different strategies that can help any learner improve their reading comprehension skills...

Learners will need to choose a book to read during the course of this class. If they are having difficulty choosing a book, they can contact me for recommendations based on their interests. Learners will need to bring a second device such as a phone or tablet to class each week to access Nearpod. Handouts and other materials will be provided to learners each week as necessary.
