Weekly Homeschool Support Classes: ELA Grades 3 & 4

Each lesson will include an engaging introduction, a group lesson, an activity, and an assessment of understanding. Following each session, each student will be given work to complete at home to further develop understanding and a progress report explaining what was taught as well as the child's level of understanding. If a student has not yet grasped the lesson, I will be personally creating follow-up activities for the child to work on to help support the child's learning and prepare for the next session. 

Below are the topics for the first four weeks of study:
