Hello Parents, This is 1-on-1 tutoring class. I will be utilizing Lumos Learning's Grade 3 Language Arts Literacy NJSLA Practice workbook. I have received permission from its publisher to use on Outschool and it’s available on Amazon. Please message me to confirm the ISBN number to ensure we have the same book for class. All the stories in the book stand alone and are independent from each other. I will be teaching reading comprehension and language arts to prepare for the 3rd grade standardized testing. If your child is in 3rd grade in NJ, the test will be end of April. If you are in another state, then this book will still be helpful for when he or she reaches 3rd grade. I'm flexible with the age of the student as long as they can read out loud and follow along as I teach. The book covers various topics that your student may have learned in school such as literature, informational text and many language arts topics. I've listed them below in the order they'll be taught in the book. Some topics may feel intimidating, but I promise to go at the learner's pace and be sure they also enjoy the class! The book is specifically designed to improve student achievement on the New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA). Students will perform their best on exams when they feel comfortable with the test content as well as the test format.
The students must have this book with them for this class so we can work together on the exercises. I love to interact with students one-on-one and see them gain confidence in their skills, ensure they feel welcome, understand the material at their own pace, and have fun while learning! It would be an honor to help your child score higher on standardized testing and overall classwork.  Please message me on which day/time you'd like to book and if you'd like to book more than one class.
