What Did I Just Read?

Students will become more familiar with different learning styles to get the most out of reading; including summarizing, timelines, character charts, using digital recorders, and pictures. This is perfect for the child who is reading, but not grasping what they’ve read.

Attention to Details

We will discuss the importance of understanding details. Children will write instructions to a practical task and participate in the application of their instructions. Students will gain a better understanding of the relationship between details and reviewing daily assignments for information, reading instructions, and proof reading.
