Does your learner love reading? Or do you wish they loved reading a little more? Either way, this class is for you! Reading is my passion and I love sharing my passion with amazing kids. We will read some of my favorite books and build their literacy skills together! Students will engage in daily discussion, personal reading, and project-based learning.

We will meet two days each week for half an hour. During the first meeting, we will discuss the novel we are reading and introduce the literacy skill for the week. During the semester we will read two incredible books from very different genres, 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' by L. Frank Baum and 'Bud, Not Buddy' by Christopher Paul Curtis. During the second meeting of the week, we will continue to explore that week's literary skill using informational texts and poetry.

We will practice and learn using a wide variety of activities! We will utilize direct instruction, games, writing, and a lot of discussion! All kids learn best in different ways and I do my best to provide good learning experiences for all students in the class. 

Students will be assigned to read some chapters (around 40-50 pages) of the novels we are studying each week outside of class. We will not be reading large portions of the novels in class. They will also be assigned to complete a Google Form with a few questions. At the end of each novel, students will complete a final writing project. This will give them a chance to show what they have learned and to focus more on their writing skills!
