자신감 있는 독해 이해력 - 중학교

*Parts 1, 2, and 3 of this class series can be taken in any order.

In this eight-week course, we will practice using tips and tricks to develop reading comprehension skills further.  We will focus on what to do before you read (access prior knowledge), while you are reading (active reading), and after you read (making connections). Each week, we will read a classic short story or poem and apply reading strategies (questioning, analyzing text structure, visualization, summaries) together.

*  Please note that I may elect to change a title based on learner needs and level of understanding.  
Each class will have a warm-up activity, a presentation of practical skills, and a reading application.  

I promote fun, happy learning environments where kids are free to talk and laugh with each other and with me.  I believe that the best learning happens when learners are happy, engaged, and comfortable.  

No experience necessary, but it may be helpful to enroll in my four-week Reading Comprehension course first.
