*This class will cover the second half of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! If your learner has not read the first half, scroll to the bottom to find a link for that class!

Harry Potter is due to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is desperate to get back to school and find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer. However, what Harry is about to discover in his new year at Hogwarts will turn his world upside down ...

In this class we will read the second half of the fifth book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. If your learner has not read the first four books in the series, scroll down for a link to those classes! During class, we will discuss what the students read that week. Students will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ask any questions that they have. We will also learn about a different element of literature each week, which will help students become better critical readers. We will discuss what they already know about the day's topic and do a short activity to practice it.

Students will have an independent reading assignment each week consisting of 3 chapters of the book. They will also complete a short assignment to show that they did the reading and understand the element of literature we discussed in class. The time required will vary depending on how fast your learner reads, but I recommend spending about half an hour a day on their reading/assignment, or 2.5 hours per week. 

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is recommended for 5th - 6th grade reading levels. If you are unsure if this class is the right level for your learner, please feel free to contact me!
