This is a nine-week class that meets 2x per week for 45 minutes each session.  This class is primarily focused on instructing students 7-10 years old on their reading comprehension skills.  We will focus on 9 key reading comprehension strategies that students can use when learning to comprehend works of fiction.  Each week, we will be concentrating on a new strategy and each session will include new stories and activities to help them practice the skill that we are working on.  Our key skills will be: Asking Questions, Determining Importance, Inferring, Making Connections, Monitoring Comprehension, Predicting, Summarizing, Synthesizing, and Visualizing.  The goal is to get them to use all of these skills to help them really understand what they are reading and be able to answer questions, apply lessons to their own lives, and engage with the reading on a deeper level.  
Lessons will meet Common Core Standards.
