Academic Seminar
Academic Seminar is a class that focuses on remediation and current contents standards being taught in the regular education math classes. This year, I will be working with 7th and 8th grade math teachers to provide support for my students. My students will work to improve their math computation and reasoning skills.
Read 180
The Read 180 is an amazing program that was purchased by the School District of Greenville County. This program focuses on several different areas of the struggling reader. I am looking forward to teaching Read 180 this year and having the same success that I have seen from each and every child that has been enrolled in the program.
Read 180 is a research-based program with proven results in raising student reading achievement. Each day, students receive instruction and practice essential reading skills through my lessons. They will use software designed to target students' specific reading needs, and will engage in independent reading.
In our Read 180 class, students will strengthen their literacy by developing:
skills needed to read fluently and understand what they have read;
knowledge needed to read and understand texts across a wide range of subjects, such as social studies, science and math;
writing skills across a range of writing types;
a deep level of confidence in themselves and their literacy abilities.
Read 180 challenges students to work hard and, by doing so, achieve reading success. You can offer encouragement and provide support at home by visiting the library, setting aside reading time, and discussing what your student is learning in Read 180.
