This class will introduce two different types of text that students may interact with every day. Students will be given both fiction and non-fiction reading selections which be provided through the classroom platform prior to class. Literal text is full of information, step-by-step instructions, and clear details about the subject in the text. The answers for comprehension are literally in the text and should be easy to determine. Inferential text is more difficult to find exact answers to comprehension questions. Students will have to think about the details they know about a given text and make an informed guess about what the author really means. Both forms require processing and understanding of the text in order to draw correct conclusions. Presentation will be made through slides, read-alouds, and worksheets for highlight and circling clues in the text. Students will engage in both written and oral forms of response.

Hello everyone! I have 24 years of experience teaching students with special needs and abilities across the K-12 spectrum. I have also taught K-8 core curriculum, such as reading, math, social studies and science. I am now an administrator for Exceptional Children and Specialized Instructional Supports. I hold a Bachelors of Science degree for Special Education and a Masters Degree in Administration, Curriculum and Instructional Design.
I believe that every child, regardless of ability levels are like a very unique lock, and as teachers it is our task to find just the right key to unlock their potential. I love to watch students build confidence in their work when we take complex tasks and break them down into small tasks for mastery.
I love to teach reading skills from beginning decoding to novel studies, foundational math skills, writing progressions, and social/emotional lessons. My brother and I both have learning disabilities and that has been a catalyst for my work since the beginning! I can't wait to meet your child!Reviews
