Class Experience

US Grade 3
Intermediate Level
Each week, students will read a small chapter book about one specific summer theme. For fluency, students will use a three-read approach which allows them to read independently, as a group and in choral reading. Comprehension questions will be given and students will be able to write responses, key vocabulary, and their own ideas and summaries about each selection. 
Materials will be provided in each lesson for students to print out prior to class. In addition, the materials will be displayed on screen as we read our selections and work through the comprehension checks and vocabulary. Our selections are part of Text Project which provides free resources for tutors and parents to prevent summer slump or regression.
Please note that there is a minimum of four students for this class to allow for choral reading and group work as part of the lesson design.
Learning Goals
Students will increase reading fluency, their approach to comprehension on longer, informational texts, and how to master new vocabulary skills.

Hello everyone!  I have 24 years of experience teaching students with special needs and abilities across the K-12 spectrum.  I have also taught K-8 core curriculum, such as reading, math, social studies and science.  I am now an administrator for Exceptional Children and Specialized Instructional Supports.  I hold a Bachelors of Science degree for Special Education and a Masters Degree in Administration, Curriculum and Instructional Design.
I believe that every child, regardless of ability levels are like a very unique lock, and as teachers it is our task to find just the right key to unlock their potential.  I love to watch students build confidence in their work when we take complex tasks and break them down into small tasks for mastery.
I love to teach reading skills from beginning decoding to novel studies, foundational math skills, writing progressions, and social/emotional lessons.  My brother and I both have learning disabilities and that has been a catalyst for my work since the beginning!  I can't wait to meet your child!
