In this class, students will be reading grade level stories with grade level vocabulary to help student gain confidence in their reading, comprehension of the story by ten to fifteen answering questions about the stories. 

First, the student will read 1-2 stories out loud in class to the teacher, then together we will answer the 10-15 comprehension questions about the stories we just read. We will focus on finding the answers in the stories to help students be able to use their critical thinking skills to remember and scan the passages to find the answers needed to answer the questions fully. 

Worksheets will be provided for students to use to read the stories along with the teacher and write in their answers to the questions as well. Students can either print out the worksheet to write physically, or use the google doc to write in the stories. 

NOTE: This class is set as 45 minutes, but not all student need the whole time to complete the three stories and writing assignment. But I have this set as 45 minutes for those student who do need this much time to not feel rushed in completing the class assignments. This makes it manageable for all students.
