This is a fun and engaging private reading session with a certified teacher. To make things more fun and engaging, please message me after enrollment and give me a list of at least five (5) things, interests, and/or hobbies that your learner is interested in and or enjoys. I will use this information to select reading passages for the learner as studies have shown that learners have a better reception to material if they can relate to it. 

This tutoring session is an opportunity for your learner to receive one-on-one/individualized attention that may be needed to assist them with achieving their reading goals. The goal for each session is to not only make sure that the learner is not only able to comprehend what they have read, but they should be able to read the material fluently.

Note: This is an ongoing class. Learners can take the class as their schedule permits. Each week's discussion is independent of previous weeks' discussions, so learners my come and go as needed. New material for this course will be added as weeks come.

These sessions are designed to assist the learners with achieving their personal reading goals. The goal for each session is to not only make sure that the learner is not only able to comprehend what they have read, but they should be able to read the material fluently.

How will this session flow? 
This session is fun and interactive. Learners will focus on new content each week. (Note: Depending on the learner's progress, we may be able to cover more than one passage during a class period (not typical) or we may not be able to cover a complete passage during a session. Each session is about quality and accuracy, and not quantity.) 

The teacher and learner will move through a presentation (shown on the screen) of the passage in a call-response format (echo reading). I will share my screen with the learner and walk them through the passage. Then, I will have learners read the passages to me without any prompting or assistance to check for understanding and mastery of content. I also use questioning while reading to cover key details about the passage. 

The reading passage will be made available to the learner no later than 12 hours before the start of class. Printing the passage is always better for the learner, but it is not a requirement. 

What words will be covered in each session? 

While it is impossible to list every topic for ongoing sessions, here is a list of topics included in the initial plan for the sessions:

Student will read multiple passages from different reading levels in the first session in order for me to assess their reading level. This will help me properly prepare for their subsequent sessions.)

Week 1: Grade Level Passage 1 
Week 2: Grade Level Passage 2 
Week 3: Grade Level Passage 3
Week 4: Grade Level Passage 4

What will the learner walk away with after each session? 

The learner should walk away after each session feeling more confident with the content covered during the session. The learner should also be able to demonstrate a complete understanding of the content covered by being able to correctly read the sentences and/or passages provided without hesitation. 

How should the learner prepare for this session? 

Learners should come to this session relaxed and ready to have fun. My sessions are no-pressure, but very interactive sessions in a positive learning environment. Learners should also be in a space free from distractions and outside noise. I want to create a nice and relaxing vibe and mood for this class to encourage all participants to be free in their learning and free to move around if they'd like to.

Students must arrive no later than 10 minutes after the start of class time or the class will be canceled and no refund and/or credit will be granted. Additionally, class/tutoring sessions will not be extended if your learner does not arrive on time for the session.
