Course
Description: This class is designed to
improve a student’s reading skills. A
typical class session involves working on the following skills: decoding, comprehension, and writing. The very small student to teacher ratio (5:1)
is maintained in order to provide individualized instruction. A class session is forty- five minutes daily.

Requirements: The student is expected to
have paper and two pens (with black or blue ink) in class every day.

time unless you are unable to be in school.
An infraction notice will be submitted to an administrator if the
student is tardy to class three times.
Grading
Criteria: Class Work = 30%,
Participation = 30%, Evaluation = 20%, Writing = 20%.

and Expectations: The student is expected to
contribute to the positive learning environment in my class at all times. The student will use his/her own materials
unless permission has been given by the owner to use his/her materials. The student is expected to be respectful to
one another and to respect himself/herself.
One
of the following consequences may occur if the student violates our learning
environment: student-teacher conference,
student (preferred presence)-parent-teacher phone conference,
student-parent-teacher school conference.
An infraction notice will be submitted to an administrator if the
previously listed consequences do not change the negative behavior. The school guidelines will be followed for a
serious disruption from a student.
Partnership: Communication between school and home is an
important component to me. Parents,
