HIGHLIGHTS
If your child is an early emergent reader to beginning reader, this class is great for them! We’ll be reading fiction and non-fiction wildlife emergent readers and storybooks. We’ll have lots of fun reading about animals with friends while sounding out sight words, reading simple sentences, and learning about wildlife. As the Learners’ skills improve, the student advances to the next series of guided reading level books. This course is designed for new readers who know their letters and are ready to take reading to the next level. Course is funded in part by Sierra Club.

The class is teacher led with student participation with reading books, asking and answering questions, and improving comprehension. We ask our Students to practice rereading the books read in class as well as select new books for them to improve their reading skills.
