Description
Introduction
Young Reader Program will have a balanced mix of grade-leveled stories, children’s stories (including fiction, non-fiction, and poems), fables, and comprehension-targeted reading exercise.
This is what students will be expecting from this course:
Grade-leveled stories:
There will be 4 levels within the same grade in my class to ensure every student progress and thrive.
leveled based on a number of factors related to text complexity such as vocabulary, word size, sentence length, amount of repetitiveness and subject matter complexity.
Each successive level introduces a greater reading challenge .
Children’s stories:
Students will be reading fiction, non-fiction, and poetry with a rich variety of topics from the three major subjects: English language arts, science, and social study.
Fables:
Fables are rich in teaching traditions, customs, and histories. They are not only fun to read but also an amazing tool to sparkle young readers interests in reading and speed up their reading skills.
Comprehension-targeted reading exercise:
Focused on building abilities to master essential reading skills such as
- main ideas & details Sequencing
- Story elements
- Conclusion & inferences
