Proven strategies to build comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency.
A nurturing environment where they can thrive.

In this course, students will learn to use clues from their reading to better understand what they read. Students will practice reading aloud (fluency), learn new vocabulary (context clues practice), learn and practice reading comprehension strategies for a better understanding of the main idea, details, inference skills, character analysis, figurative language, author's purpose, and more. 

TStudents are welcome to join at any time, this curriculum is designed for year-long practice. Although we revisit topics multiple times for skill reinforcement, all practice activities are different. 

This class is highly interactive and encourages active student participation. Each session begins with an introduction to a specific reading comprehension strategy. Following the introduction, weโ€™ll practice the skill together using teacher-provided stories. Students will take turns reading aloud in a round-robin format, engaging with the text and answering questions. Throughout the lesson, we provide guidance on pronunciation, fluency, and effective reading techniques to support student growth.

The class uses 4th-grade reading material and is appropriate for advanced 3rd graders, on-level 4th graders, or 5th graders needing additional support.
    
H๐—ข๐— ๐—˜๐—ช๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ž - We teach "Practice Makes Progress"! After each class, we send an email detailing the skill we worked covered and a home practice worksheet. (Please make sure your class communication is turned on). We do not grade the assignment but the answers will be included for you (the parent or guardian) to assess the student at home as well.

๐—ฃ๐—”๐—œ๐—š๐—˜ ๐—›๐—ข๐—ช๐—˜๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ~ Hi, I am the owner of Achieve Learning Partners, LLC. I hold a BS from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) from the University of Louisville. I hold an internationally recognized TESOL certification and have taught ESL to children ages 3-16. 

I love teaching and I love learning. I have been in the field of education for 30 years.  In those 30+ years, I have taught, substituted, and owned a Sylvan Learning Center. 

As a teacher, I have taught all academic subjects for elementary-age students and study skills to middle school, high school, and college students. I put my heart and soul into my students and classes. I work hard to meet students right where they are and scaffold my teaching to test student retention and base knowledge.  

I love to make learning fun and engaging while also encouraging students to use their critical thinking skills. As a mother and teacher, I know it takes a village - teacher, parent, and student and I want to be part of your village. 

More about me - I am a mother of two boys. I lived on the East Coast in Jacksonville, Florida for over 30 years. However, in the summer of 2020, my husband and I became empty nesters and took off on a new adventure as his job relocated us to Colorado. We are an active family that loves exploring the outdoors and all that comes with it from the animals to the topography.

I am a lifelong learner and an avid reader but have fallen in love with audio books that I can listen to ALL the time. Therefore, you will often find me hiking and listening to a book at the same time (enjoying two of my favorite things at one time).     

I hope to see you in class soon.  ~ Paige

I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have been involved in education for over 10 years. I have worked in public and private school settings, and am homeschooling my children. I am passionate about teaching and sharing my love of learning with my students.   

The subjects I enjoy the most are reading, science, and geography! As a member of the Achieve Learning Partners team, you will find me teaching a variety of reading classes and on my Outschool account, you will find some book clubs as well as science-related classes.  

Check out my other classes here - https://outschool.com/teachers/Courtney-Betty

In my classes, your students will find meaningful lessons designed to keep students engaged while having fun learning online. I am an energetic teacher who works hard to build the skills and confidence a student needs to be successful. I also like to get to know my students. I know that building that relationship and trust is important for a studentโ€™s academic success. Communication is also very important to me.  Clear and prompt communication is my promise, If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a message. 

On a more personal note, I have been happily married for 15 years. As a homeschooling mom of three wonderful kids, I've got a full house that includes two furry feline friends and an energetic pup. I reside in the Sunshine State of Florida. 

I can't wait to see you in my classroom! ~ Courtney

๐—ฅ๐—›๐—ข๐—ก๐——๐—” ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฉ๐—”๐—š๐—˜ - For over 22 years, I've passionately dedicated myself to teaching, focusing on reading and math for grades K-5. As a Dyslexia Endorsed Educator, LETRS-trained educator, Certified Reading Specialist, and Orton-Gillingham Instructor, I love helping students master essential foundational skills.

Outside of work, I'm a mother of four, and I enjoy cooking and exploring different cuisines, which brings my family together. I'm also a huge Disney fan, from visiting the parks to enjoying Disney movies. My life blends nurturing young minds, culinary creativity, shopping, and spending quality time with family.

๐—”๐—ฆ๐—›๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฌ ๐—›๐—”๐—ฅ๐—ฃ๐—˜๐—ฅ - As a former public school teacher in Ohio, I have earned a bachelorโ€™s degree in Middle Childhood Education: Math, Language Arts, & K-12 Reading and a masterโ€™s degree in Curriculum & Instruction: Gifted & Talented Education. Over the past 10 years as an educator in both public school and virtual learning settings, I have tutored 4th through 9th Grade Math, Reading, and Writing, and I have also taught 6th and 8th Grade Math to all levels of learners, Algebra I to enriched/gifted students, and K-12 English Language Arts and Reading to international students.  

As a member of the Achieve Learning Partners teaching team, I currently teach a variety of reading comprehension and fluency classes to 1st through 5th-grade learners. Additionally, I offer a variety of personalized math tutoring opportunities for middle school students through my own Outschool platform. Feel free to explore my other classes here - https://outschool.com/teachers/Ashley-Harper-2023

While teaching and tutoring, I find the greatest joy in helping students master skills they previously found challenging by providing plenty of practice, encouragement from me, and making connections to what they are learning. I love providing my students with multiple opportunities to interact with new skills while also encouraging them to select learning strategies that work best for them and connect most to them along the way. An important part of learning anything new is a positive mindset and willingness to give your very best effort as you explore and practice - I am here to help! 

My continuous goal will always be to help students grow their confidence, self-awareness, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills from class to class, learn from mistakes, stretch their thinking, and learn something new!

Although much of my time is spent teaching and tutoring, outside of the classroom I love spending time with my family - my husband, our sweet baby girl, and our spunky dog - as well as enjoying family hikes, curling up with a good book, practicing yoga, and baking new recipes for my family to try!

I can't wait to meet YOU and get to know you more as an individual and a learner! 

See you in class! ~ Ashley

๐—ž๐—ฅ๐—œ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—˜๐—ก ๐—Ÿ๐—ข๐—ก๐—š ~ Holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education from Florida Atlantic University. I am a certified elementary educator in two states. I hold PreK-5 teaching certification with an ESOL
endorsement in Ohio. In Florida, I hold K-6 teaching certification in elementary education and
K-12 certification in English for Speakers of Other Languages. I have 8 years of experience as a
general elementary classroom teacher and 15 years of experience working with children in
educational settings overall.

As a general educator, I taught kindergarten for 3 years and second grade for 5 years.
Throughout this time, I worked with students of varying needs and ability levels, including ESE
and ESOL. In my most recent role, I was department head of second grade while concurrently
teaching a gifted and enrichment cluster of 18 students. No matter what level my students start
at, my joy in teaching comes from providing students with scaffolded support and watching each student gain confidence in themselves as they progress.

My teaching style is very student-centered. I enjoy creating a class environment where students
not only feel a sense of belonging but also know that their unique perspectives and contributions
to learning are valued by myself and their peers. I make an effort to incorporate project-based
learning where I can, and allow students choice. I like to encourage students through their
frustrations as I firmly believe self-confidence and creative problem-solving skills are developed
through facing challenges, taking chances, making mistakes, and learning through them.
In addition to my work with Achieve Learning Partners, I also offer classes and tutoring for
elementary-aged students on my personal Outschool page which you can access here:

When it comes to my personal life, spending time with my family is very important to me. I also
love to spend my off time on nature walks and hikes. I am very creative and interested in science,
and I like to travel and experience other cultures. I enjoy completing puzzles and practicing both
yoga and meditation.

I am excited to support your childโ€™s educational journey and to collaborate with you, the parents,
to foster emotional and academic growth.

Your partner in learning! ~ Kristen Long

๐—”๐— ๐—ก๐—˜๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ฌ ๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—ฆ๐—ง๐—ข๐—ก- I have a bachelor's degree in Multidisciplinary Studies, an associate's degree in child
development, and a Child care and education certification. Iโ€™m also a PD specialist
through the National Association for the Education of Young Children. I've taught as a head professional teacher in early childhood education, ages 18 months- 7 for over 23 years. I have experience with special needs children and love to teach in diverse environments. I'm experienced in many different curriculums and I love meshing them together to create various styles to teach my learners. I have some experience with ASL and
love incorporating it into lesson plans. I've taught thousands of children throughout my career
with creative, informative lesson plans! The goal is to reach each student according to their level and help them thrive at their own pace. Life skill learning is also a part of what I will be offering.

Something fun about me is that I'm a Children's book author! One of my books went #1 on
Amazon! I LOVE gardening and teaching children how to garden. I have a 25-year old son, (my
college graduate) whom I adore! I also have a 7-year old niece who's been by my side for the
past few years! She keeps me on my feet and I absolutely love it. She is homeschooled by me
and we have an early childhood education group that we run together to help parents and
educators with ideas and learning lessons. I've been in education for so long, I'm able to see
and keep in contact with many students from my past, a lot of them are grown-ups now! The fun
heartwarming part is they remember me! I look at my students as a lifelong family! I'm looking
forward to getting to know each of you and building a lifelong bond as well! 

I can't wait to get to know you! ~ Amnesty
