I firmly believe that any child can develop a love for learning if they are given the freedom to pick books that spark their interest and curiosity.  Going along with that idea, I want my student to pick out a book they'll be excited to read, but they might need some help with.  They do not necessarily have to pick out books right at their reading level, but they should be able to get though a sentence without getting overly frustrated.  Please contact me regarding what book you have chosen as soon as possible so I may get a copy for myself. 

Typically I'll have them read a paragraph, then I'll read one and we'll keep taking turns.  This 50/50 ratio may be adjusted depending on the difficulty of the text and the skill level of the child.  I want them to be challenged but not frustrated. 

As we read, we'll pause to discuss the learning goals below.  I use an interactive Google Slide presentation to help us illustrate our ideas as needed.  For example, if we are analyzing character traits, we might work on a circle map together, or a compare-and-contrast thinking map. 

This is an ongoing class scheduled for once per week, however more days can be added by signing up for more sections.  Sections will made available by request. 

**If your child has a friend/sibling or two that would like to join in with us, I'm happy to accommodate more learners at a discounted rate.  Please message me for details.**
