Campamento semanal de comprensión lectora de verano para 4.º y 5.º grado

Improve reading comprehension skills while learning test taking strategies at the same time!  This weekly ongoing summer camp will prepare your child for standardized reading tests by learning test taking tips, while focusing on a Common Core Reading Comprehension skill each week. I believe in first teaching reading comprehension skills and using them in an authentic way, and then integrating those comprehension and test taking skills together, so students not only become better test takers, but better life long readers.  

My goal as a teacher is to engage students by using a variety of materials in my classes, such as high interest reading passages, visuals, or short films to apply the reading skill of the week.  The format of the class will vary based on the skill for that week.  At the end of each day's class we will practice the skill we learned that day with a fun game of Blooket or Gimkit.  Later in the camp we will apply the comprehension strategies learned while completing practice reading test passages. 

*Note: Classes do not build upon the prior class each week; students may join class at any time.*

Each weekly class will be structured as follows:
Introductions/Ice Breaker
Mini-lesson of skill 
Modeling of skill as we practice applying the skill of the day with a variety of media (short film, commercial, picture, short story)
Guided and Independent Practice of skill while reading the text of the day
Blooket or Gimkit game to review skill to end the class (As time permits/if applicable to skill)
