The Weather Vane - An Interactive ESL Reading Class (Level 4)

In this interactive reading class, students will experience a day at the building site with Teacher Laurie as we read together the story "The Weather Vane". As we read and discuss the story, we will be practicing important reading skills like asking and answering questions. Students will also learn how to build words starting in "WH" through use of phonics (Example: B-ALL, T-ALL...)

I like to make my teaching fun and engaging for the students. That's why I created an interactive slide show including a reward system. In this class, the students will get to build a house throughout the lesson. I put a lot of efforts into making reward systems because I feel that it helps the students stay focused and motivated in learning. 

Although this is a reading class, a lot of speaking is involved. I like to have my students speak as much as possible. Of course, they will get to answer questions about the story, but I like to also encourage peer-to-peer interactions where the students get to ask questions to their teacher or classmate. 

This one time class is designed for students who have experience taking ESL classes and are now at an Intermediate level. 

How can you know if your child is at the appropriate level for this class? 
- Is your child able to sound out words and read complete sentences in English?
- Is your child able to have basic conversations in English?
- Does your child enjoy learning while playing games?

If so this class is the perfect fit for them!

Please reach out to me, Teacher Laurie if you love this class but you are wondering whether it is an appropriate level for your child!
