調整你的閱讀成功之路

Hello! My name is Teacher Clarissa. Some like to call me Storybox Lady! 

I help students of any reading level too: 

@) Read a Story
@) Understand what they have just read (reading comprehension) 
@) Connect to the Story in an emotional way 

I use 10 tips for better Reading Comprehension and Understanding 

1. Look at the story 2. Prior Knowledge 3. Vocabulary 4. Context Clues 5. Settings 6. Characters 7. Main Plot/Main Conflict 8. Summary/Notes 9. Pacing 10. Connection to the story 

I have taught ESL for 5 years on many platforms, not just to Chinese children, but for children all over the world. My main experience comes from teaching and volunteering 20 plus years to children in church classes, my community, and Boy Scouts of America settings.

 I've taught children to sing, to play, to think, and helped them develop skills in their lives so they could become better adults and better humans in their communities. 

I believe a child has a right to be protected and heard. I will show respect to them and I hope for the same from them. I want to do my best to bring out the best in children and let them know they are wanted and validated. They have wisdom beyond their years and we as adults need to stop and listen to them. They see things we can't see.  
I'm excited to get to know your child in my classroom. I may be simple in teaching without to many bells and whistles but I've got heart, kindness, patience and a fun sense of play and humor to my personality. See you in the classroom.
