Strategies for Strengthening Reading (Grades 1-3)

For many young readers, fluency can be a stumbling block, keeping them from greater reading comprehension.  Through the use of guided reading, the teacher will work with your child in small groups as well as individually at their instructional level to guide them to using the context, visual, and structural cues within the story to generate meaning.  These strategies are proven to be extremely useful for independent, fluent reading and decoding.  This class will focus on changing your slower or even word-by-word reader into a more fluent reader who reads with greater understanding.
