每週閱讀一對一導師：語音、基礎技能、流暢度和理解力！幼稚園、一年級、二年級、三年級

🔅What is 'fluency' when reading a story?
Fluency is:
✅Accuracy: The ability to decode words without making an error
✅Automaticity: The ability to read effortlessly
✅Rate: The speed maintained while reading accurately and automatically
✅Prosody: Reading in context at a smooth and even pace while having expression

➡️In this ongoing class, I will work with your learner on their reading fluency and comprehension. Good fluency is something that takes practice and repetition. 

➡️This class is *flexible to exactly what your child needs in literacy* -- whether it is learning to read in kindergarten, or if they are in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade and needing support with fluency and/or comprehension, this class will work for them! This class is great if your child is reading below grade level. I will meet them where they are at and build from there. 

🔅Younger learners (ages 4-6) should know most or all of the sounds that the letters make before beginning this class.

📚The following two types of texts are used in this class, dependent on your child's literacy needs:
1️⃣"Learning to read" (also known as 'Decodable Readers) These are used for beginner readers that are working on blending individual sounds, digraphs, trigraphs, vowel teams, and other spellings to learn how to read. 
2️⃣"Reading to learn" These are for learners who mastered most phonics rules that are now practicing to enhance their fluency and comprehension of stories. 

💗If you would prefer I meet with your learner 2 or 3 times per week rather than 1, feel free to book additional sessions at the date and time of your choosing. Send me a message if you have any questions or do not see additional availability.

🚨If your child is reading at least 1 grade/year below their current grade level, I recommend at least 2 sessions per week.

💗While every individual session will benefit your learner, good fluency is something that takes a lot of practice and repetition. Therefore, you will see progress with your learners reading skills over a series of sessions rather than a single meeting. 

📚I have a teacher subscription to Reading A to Z where I have access to thousands of digital books. A new book will be presented on my screen in each class. In some classes where time permits, 2 stories will be read. I will listen to your learner read and make corrections as needed. I will make sure your learner is reading words with those tricky spelling rules and phonics patterns correctly. I have a digital pen where I will be marking to direct the students attention or to correct errors when reading. If there are certain phonics or reading rules that your learner is missing while reading, we will pause the reading to learn how to tackle those rules to be able to read words that contain the missed rules.

--> In addition, I will ask your learner reading comprehension questions and completing comprehension activities  to make sure that they understand the book being read and not simply just 'reading.' 

📚Every digital book used will be shared in the classroom after each session.

💗Over time, your reader will be reading with more expression, less errors, and at a steady rate of a fluent reader!

📚After a few sessions with your learner when I have a good understanding at what level your child is currently reading at, I will provide a fluency assessment with them where I will record their words per minute, words CORRECT per minute, and errors which will produce their accuracy/reading rate percentage. I will then conduct this same assessment (which takes only about 2-3 minutes of the 30 minute sessions) to keep track of their progress and I will share those results with you after each session that has an assessment within it. 
**This is available for students reading at a FIRST GRADE level or higher. If I am working with a learner reading at a kindergarten level, we will begin these fluency checks once they reach my first grade curriculum. 

✏️If your learner is reading at or beyond a second grade reading level, I will give a comprehension quiz to them at the end of every book that they read. I will provide the results to you in our classroom after each session.

📝After each class, I will provide extension activities in our Outschool classroom that is specifically about the book read in class. This is *optional* work for your learner to continue to practice literacy skills after our class together. 

🚨🚨🎧I kindly require that in all of my classes students wear headphones. This helps learners focus immensely. I want your learner to be able to focus easily and get the most out of every minute of our time together. In addition, it also allows me to hear pronunciation of specific sounds and words a lot clearer which is incredibly important. Thank you very much! 💙🚨🚨

💗I run 2 semester classes per year, 5 months per semester. While you can subscribe and unsubscribe at any time, if you remain enrolled, I will work with your learner for 5 months with the option to enroll again for the following semester. My first semester runs from September-December and my second semester runs from January-May. 
If you are interested in subscribing but my classes are showing sold out, you can 'save' the class to subscribe when my classes for the following semester open and also keep an eye in case a learner unsubscribes and I get an open seat before the end of the current semester. Again, message me with any scheduling questions - I am always happy to accomodate where I can!

🎄💘🦃 There will be no classes on major holidays. In addition, I am a full-time classroom teacher so if there is a meeting that has to be cancelled due to my responsibilities at my public school, makeup classes will always be available.

💲🚨💲Refund Policy💲🚨💲:

I follow Outschool's refund policy; meaning that this is the refund policy that the company requires and is not my personal refund policy:

 ♡ If the parent needs to cancel a session, the parent has to cancel from their parent account.

 ♡ If the teacher needs to cancel a session, the teacher has to cancel from their teacher account. 

If the PARENT cancels the class and if you are eligible for a refund, Outschool will automatically refund you. 

If the TEACHER cancels the class, you will be refunded by myself and offered a makeup session for a different day/time. (optional)

🚨 Eligibility for a Refund:

You are charged on Sunday every week for the session(s) we are scheduled to have for the following week. You are eligible for a refund if you cancel the class within the 24 hours after you were charged.

For example, if your card was charged for the class at 8:00 PM on Sunday and you cancel our class at 7:00 PM on Monday, you will automatically be refunded as that is only 23 hours after you were charged. If you cancel the class at 8:01 PM on Monday, Outschool will not refund you as you are out of the 24 hour window.

In short, to be eligible to receive a refund for a session, you must cancel it within 24 hours after Outschool charged your card on Sunday.

I will always offer makeup sessions for a session that either you or I have to cancel at the same cost of our regular sessions. Makeup sessions are always optional.
