I’m BEYOND excited to have you in my class this year.
In this class, we will explore different genres of literature, such as fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama. We will also practice various skills, such as reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and speaking.
My goal is to help you develop a love for reading and writing, as well as to prepare you for the next level of your education. I hope you are ready for a fun, interactive and progressive school year!
