I've created a year-round schedule for my Excellent Reader Jr classes by adding The Excellent Reader Jr: 5th Grade Reading and Writing Fun Class for the summer.
The summer 2024 schedule includes a week off from July 1-4.
Completion of this eight-week class will see your students reading three books including one biographical book of their own choosing, writing several short essays, one book report, their own graphic novelette, and learning several oral Language Arts techniques. ...The learning goals for this class are for your student to engage with books in a fun, relaxed, and creative way. While doing this, your student will be using their comprehension skills, honing their writing skills, and practicing their oral communication skills.
Homework Offered
There will be reading and writing assignments with each class.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

1 file available upon enrollmentA biography of your student's choice (You may begin reading this prior to the course if you desire) The Mysterious Benedict Society (Any unabridged version) The Swiss Family Robinson: Graphic Novel (ISBN # 978-1496500366)
The biographical book report portion of this class is student-led, meaning students, with the help of their parents, will be choosing a biographical book for their report. When choosing your book, please choose age-appropriate titles for the 5th-grade level. The Mysterious Benedict Society follows four children, two boys and two girls, who are chosen for a very important mission. A secret mission that only the most intelligent and inventive children could complete. To accomplish it they will have to go undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened, where the only rule is that there are no rules. What they'll find in the hidden underground tunnels of the school is more than your average school supplies. So, if you're gifted, creative, or happen to know Morse Code, they could probably use your help. The Swiss Family Robinson: Graphic Novel is the abridged version of Johann David Wyss's original book of the same name. Written as a family-friendly book in the same genre as the less family-friendly Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, the story follows The Robinson Family as they make a life for themselves after becoming shipwrecked on a deserted island. This story is a wonderful example of teamwork, family support, and determination.
