Word Fun 社團：英文語言與寫作的精彩時光（2-4 年級）

Note: The class schedule/syllabus is below.) 

Your learner is welcome to join at anytime (no matter if the section is "in progress" or "bookable"). As long as there is availability in the section, enrollment is open. No matter when your learner begins, the 12 weeks of topics begins at that time. These classes do not build on one another. This means your learner has not missed any material! 
______________________________________________________________________

We will crack the code of prefixes, suffixes and root words; master compound words and contractions; unlock the power of synonyms and antonyms; uncover the fun of homophones and homographs; and bring language to life with metaphors, similes and colorful idioms. These topics will support your learner's academic progress and foster a love of language.

Each lesson includes worksheets I have created unique to this class. I send these materials out in an announcement message via the online classroom each week. I encourage families to print these resources if they have the means to do so. Having the materials printed and ready to go by the start of each class can enhance your learner's engagement and participation. If families are unable to print the materials, learners are able to see and follow along with the activity/worksheet on my screen. Students are welcome to engage in activities on a blank sheet of paper if this works best for your family.

The course topics will cycle through on a 12-week basis. 
Your learner can join in every week or the weeks that work best for your schedule. 
If a section is already in progress, your learner is welcome to join at any time.
