Course Description

Reading and writing go hand in hand, and this ongoing class is designed to help learners grow in both through engaging, high-interest texts and meaningful writing practice. Each week, we'll read a fiction or nonfiction passage together while focusing on one important reading skill such as finding the main idea, making inferences, using text evidence, analyzing vocabulary, or understanding an author's purpose. After discussing the text, learners will complete a writing activity connected to what they have read. Writing tasks may include summaries, evidence-based responses, opinion writing, informational writing, creative responses, or short paragraphs. Students will complete their writing in Google Docs, allowing me to provide individualized feedback, suggestions, and encouragement both during and after class. If your learner is new to Google Docs, that's perfectly okay! I'll help everyone get set up and show them the basics so they can confidently use it throughout the course. This class is designed to be interactive and supportive. Learners will discuss ideas, ask questions, practice new skills, and receive guidance as they become stronger readers, writers, and critical thinkers. Because each class focuses on a different reading skill and writing activity, students may join at any time. Whether your learner needs extra practice, enrichment, or simply enjoys reading and writing, this class provides a fun, encouraging environment where they can build confidence and strengthen skills they'll use across every subject.
