Class Overview:

In this ongoing reading class, learners will work on reading passages that enhance their reading fluency, vocabulary, writing responses, and comprehension skills. This class is not phonics-based. Each reading level includes a mix of 5 fiction and 5 non-fiction passages, with learners required to read each passage three times before answering comprehension questions. The questions range from 2 to 6 per passage and include a combination of multiple-choice and free-response questions that encourage text-based evidence and critical thinking.

This class is ideal for learners in Grades 1 to 5 who can read and decode simple text. Learners should bring a notebook and a writing instrument (pen or pencil) to each class. Some sections uses Google Slides.

Class Structure:

- 20 mins: Reading the passage
- 20 mins: Completing comprehension questions

What to Expect:

At the start of each class, learners will silently read the passage to themselves before reading it aloud to me. Any mispronounced words will be highlighted and noted in the learner’s notebook. After reading, we will work together to answer the comprehension questions, with an emphasis on writing responses in complete sentences. Homework will involve reviewing mispronounced words, finishing any incomplete questions, and re-reading the passage.
