What's included

4 live meetings
3 hrs 40 mins in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Completing a state released test will be HW between classes. How much there is depends on how much will be completed in any certain class. Of course, I will readjust this amount, if it is too much. The goal is to usage of the skills we are practicing be used on the learner's own time to show gaining mastery of the skills.

Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
First and most important, my classes are all taught in a highly safe manner with excellent expectation for the way all members of the class are treated and treat each other. Respect is our key.  This is a class on reading and study skills, but also in the correct environment, it can totally be fun and we will do that together.
**Please note there is a class requirement of 2 or more students per class in order to have the class.  
Materials used included FIgurative Language Materials and State Reading Test materials released for public use
As we practice skills from specific tests, which will be sent to you in pdf form prior to the class, students may use the materials either directly on the computer or a second screen, or print on paper to be able to practice strategies with highlighters, pens etc
Skills taught and reinforced:
Study SKills:  Reading skills for various types of writing, organization, using sources of info effectively, time management, active reading for details, dissecting questions to know what is being asked.
Reading Skills: Styles of reading including fiction, non-fiction, reference, information articles, poetry, effective use of reference materials, vocab. iin context, inferring, figurative language, summarizing, details, skimming/ scanning

Work will be assigned between classes so that one practice test is completed for three class meetings and the last class will be spend on figurative language.

Please note discounts can be given if you bring a friend to class and note that to me at registration or form your own class with 2+ learners.  Please request times  and dates for classes.

Other Details

Supply List
highlighter and pen/ pencil to do the work on paper ( which will need to be printed at home prior to class and can be as long as 18 pages a test) if doing the work on computer screen does not allow the student the ability to highlight  and / or circle answers.  Thank you for planning this ahead because if the learner is not prepared with the materials for this class prior to its meeting, the potential is there to slow down class considerably.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
