Each week we will read aloud one of Beatrix Potter's classic tales together in class. I will read aloud to the students and also ask for class volunteers to read. If your student does not want to read aloud, please do not worry! I believe reading should be enjoyable not something to be feared. After we read our chapters, we will have a class discussion of the plot, any funny or interesting passages, and vocabulary words. I also love to take elements from the story and explore them on a deeper level. Following discussion will be our creative time. Each week we will work on a craft centered around content covered in the tale we read. Because I want students to fall in love with reading, I will be energetic for each session and open to students discussing what makes Beatrix Potter memorable to them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Mrs. Ginny, and I am so very excited to guide your student through the world of books! In regards to my teaching experience, I taught 7th grade English for two years and 7th-12th English for six years. I currently tutor with three tutoring companies and offer private lessons at my home.
I have a M.Ed. in English Education from William Carey University, a B.A. in English with a minor in speech communications from William Carey University, and an A.A. degree from Jones College. Before leaving the public and private school system, I held an AA teaching license.
Every time I read a new book, I feel as though I have made a new friend, and I hope to help your student see reading this way. I am extremely passionate about the written word and will use this energy to foster the bookworm in your student!
On a side note- I love spending time with my family, reading aloud to my daughter, gardening, journaling, and READING!Reviews
