閱讀流暢度：練習常見單字、閱讀句子並建立信心

𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞!

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 doesn’t always come easily, and it can feel overwhelming when words just don’t seem to flow. This class is designed to meet learners where they are, helping them build 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 step by step. By focusing on 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬—those high-frequency building blocks of reading—we’ll turn the challenge into achievable success. With guided practice in 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 and 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬, learners will discover that fluency isn’t about speed; it’s about understanding and connection.

Through a supportive, gentle approach, learners will grow their skills week by week. They’ll gain the tools to read with 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 and a sense of accomplishment, exploring engaging 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 that make reading feel rewarding. Whether your child is struggling to get started or simply needs extra practice, this class offers a safe space to grow, encouraging every learner to see themselves as capable and successful readers.

CLASS ENVIRONMENT

Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. 

Our class size does not exceed 5 learners. This allows for more personalized attention from the educator, ensuring that each learner's individual needs and learning styles are met. With a smaller group size, there is also more opportunity for discussion and collaboration among classmates, creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. Additionally, students may feel more comfortable and confident participating in discussions and activities in a smaller group setting.

We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. 

In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education.

We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter.

By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners.
