This class includes practice of different reading concepts. Each week the student will have two classes focused on a specific reading skill and the foundations for that skill. We will practice reading skills using demonstration and active participation. The student will listen to and read stories written by the teacher or the student. This will help them become aware of word use in the real world. We will also learn to answer questions about the reading to gain skills in comprehension. I stay aware of the students' needs and interests and adjust class content accordingly for the maximum learning benefit for each student. Students should know letter sounds, be reading many sight words and CVC words, and able to decode new words that have familiar patterns. This ongoing course will run for 6 weeks and can be repeated for more practice.
