Each week focuses on one main standard while also incorporating a variety of comprehension skills. Students will: 
✏️ Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.
✏️ Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
✏️ Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.
✏️ Use context to confirm or self-correct word recognition and understanding, rereading as necessary.
✏️ Compare and contrast the point of view from which different stories are narrated, including the difference between first- and third-person narrations.
✏️ Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text.
✏️ Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions).

I have nearly a decade of teaching experience in various settings. I've taught in the brick-and-mortar setting as well as online. Writing is a topic that I am personally passionate about.  While working in the brick-and-mortar school setting, I would frequently work 1:1 with special needs students to help them become better writers and accomplish the goals outlined in their IEP's. 

My degrees/certifications are: 
• Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education
• Bachelors degree in Elementary Education
