Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 4
Intermediate Level
Do you want your learner to develop their vocabulary skills and improve their reading fluency?  In this ongoing class, your child will learn word attack skills (phonics) and boost their vocabulary skills using a top-rated vocabulary curriculum.  They will learn to sound out words and determine their level of understanding of that word.  (don't know the word, heard the word but don't know meaning, or can define the word) Then they will be exposed to the word in context to help determine the meaning of the word.  Other clues to the word meaning such as  affixes, word roots, part of speech and language of origin will be used to help learners discover the meaning.  Dictionary skills will then be used to confirm and/or clarify the meaning/s of the word. Each lesson will consist of 15 words that students will discuss  and practice spelling.  Reading fluency will be developed as students read a passage that focuses on the vocabulary words for that week. Following the passage the students will have opportunity to check their comprehension of the passage. The students will also play Kahoot to check understanding of these vocabulary words.
 STUDENTS are REQUIRED to purchase  Book 4 Wordly Wise  3000 Fourth Edition for this class.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University/ Ohio
 I am Teacher Colleen and am a retired teacher with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Deaf Education.  I was certified to teach in the states of Ohio and Florida. During my 40 years in education I had the opportunity to teach in public and private schools, homeschool some of my own children as well as teach American Sign Language at the college leveI.  Most recently, I taught ESL through an online platform and worked as an intervention tutor at our local elementary school. My experience in the classroom and with my own children has taught me that all children learn differently.  I will provide a classroom where all children can learn in a safe, friendly environment.  You  will find my classrooms to be very hands-on and child oriented.  It is rewarding to see a child's face light up as they understand something new or see them glow with pride when they realize that they CAN do something that they didn't think they could do. I will be offering classes in Phonics/Reading for Levels 1-3, Math for Levels 1-3, Cursive writing, Science camps, Writing workshops, Math Facts Practice and ASL. I do offer a limited number of 1-1 tutoring slots, but try to focus on students that really need intervention to bring them up to grade level.   I am the mom of 7 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren (with the 9th one arriving in March!).  When I am not in the classroom you will find me spending time with my family and my German shepherd, Ellie.
