Students will meet 2 times as week for 45 minutes each class. The class will have interactive games and depending on class size there will be group activities as well. Each week students will have a different spelling list and learn new grammar rules. 

My goal is to find patterns where students are struggling and adjust lessons to fit their needs and support them with individual homework assignments that fit their needs. 

When a student first joins they will be given a diagnostic spelling and grammar test so I can see what areas they need help in.  Based off of the results of the class we will then begin weekly lessons. See below for examples.

Here is a sample week:

*Monday: Pre-Test and Grammar Lesson
- Students will be given a pre-test on 10-15 words. Words may carry over from a previous week if a student got the wrong answer on the actual test the week before. 
- Students will be presented with a new grammar topic. We may cover topics such as parts of speech, punctuation, capitalization, singular vs plural, pronouns, synonyms/antonyms, ABC order, sentence types. Complete sentences, tenses, etc.

*Wednesday: Supporting Spelling activities, and Practice Grammar
- Wednesday’s are our practice days. Students will play games with each other that support learning the topics of the week. Example games include BattleShip, Hangman, Bingo, Memory, Beat the Teacher, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc.

Students will also practice writing sentences/paragraphs depending on their level.

*Alternating weeks : Review, Test
- students will receive a quick review of any concepts and have an opportunity to ask questions before taking the test. 


Homework/practice assignments will be posted each week. They are optional, but struggling learners should complete them. We will not go over there in class. Students can upload their assignments to me and I will review. If needed we will set up office hours for further review. 

Holidays: I have tried to account for traditional holiday schedules. If your student needs time off for other holidays/reasons during the semester please let me know and I will work with you to make up any days missed.
