독해 기술: 더 강력한 독해를 위한 어휘와 단어군 확장

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬.

For many young readers, the world of words can feel like a maze—confusing and overwhelming. But with a gentle approach, this journey becomes an exciting adventure. In this class, learners will explore the beauty of 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 and 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 through stories and sentences that are simple yet powerful. They’ll discover how 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 and 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 open the doors to new words, and how these words create bridges to better comprehension and reading fluency.

Each lesson is designed to be a step toward confidence, with every word learned becoming a small victory in the larger story of their reading journey. Through a gentle lens, learners will build the vocabulary and comprehension skills that will guide them, making each new chapter feel just a little bit easier. Together, we’ll explore this world, one word at a time.

Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. 

Our class size does not exceed 5 learners. This allows for more personalized attention from the educator, ensuring that each learner's individual needs and learning styles are met. With a smaller group size, there is also more opportunity for discussion and collaboration among classmates, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, students may feel more comfortable and confident participating in discussions and activities in a smaller group setting.

We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. 

In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education.

We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter.
By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners.
