Class Content:
  This class will be based on learners reading levels.  I will be utilizing many different ways to reach learners in a beneficial way.  Learners in this class will be taught at their level to improve their reading, comprehension, reading strategies, fluency, vocabulary, word study, and grammar skills.  During class I will be using a researched based curriculum from reading a-z.  Learners will be sent a weekly book and worksheets.  
  During class we will be using a variety of learning techniques.  This class will be using auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning techniques to help learners retain as much as possible.  We will have a great time working on skills to become a better readers and comprehending what we learn.  
  This course will utilize a three day schedule weekly to make sure learners have enough time to improve their skills.  The schedule is listed below but during the week we will be working on all reading skills to improve reading, comprehension, fluency, word study, and grammar.

Why This Class:
  I am a licensed educator and have been a teacher for 10 years.  Guided reading is where my specialty is during the school day.  I have had many years of experience and know how to grow learners levels by utilizing a variety of different teaching techniques to be able to reach all learners and help them grow by differentiating instruction.
  This course will be kept small at a max of four learners to ensure every learner gets equal time to work and share.  As an added benefit this class will cycle through 3 levels so learners will have the ability to learn extra skills or review skills.

Class Materials:
  All class materials will be shared weekly  through the class page prior to class.  
  Weekly materials: Learners will need the worksheets attached as well as the paper book.  They will also need red, yellow, and green coloring materials-markers, colored pencils, colored pens.
