內褲隊長閱讀理解社！

Students will learn proven reading comprehension strategies in this club as we read stories together on a 2nd-5th grade level about George, Harold, Captain Underpants, and their adventures. Students do not need copies of the books. They may read along as I display the pages on my screen using my Wacom digital tablet. Learners will love learning through stories about funny characters, answering questions about characters, settings, problems, and solutions, and making inferences in a new and engaging way. I am a certified elementary school teacher with twelve years of experience teaching reading grades 1-5.  

I love Dav Pilkey's stories and creating lessons around characters students love, and I know the students will learn better when engaged. This club meets once a week. I have experience teaching students with degrees of disabilities and am very good at modifying lessons and activities as need be. 

We read 3-5 chapters a class week, and every MONDAY, we begin a new lesson for the week. 

The class repeats at different times throughout the week, but the material continues until Sunday. 

The Captain Underpants Comprehension Club is a one-time class, so students sign up every week and have flexibility on am/pm and the day of the week. Most students attend once a week, but some choose to repeat classes. 

We will answer questions before, during, and after each story, and I will demonstrate how to solve each reading problem step by step using my Wacom digital tablet and SmartBoard program. These professional tools allow me to highlight, underline, and annotate along with the students, giving a perfect example of problem-solving. I will model how to work through each comprehension question using the I do, We do, You do strategy.

I have used children's favorite stories to teach story elements and reading comprehension skills to students worldwide, native English speakers, and those learning English as a second language. Students learn better when they are engaged and have fun!
