Class Experience
US Grade 5 - 6
One of the best ways to improve reading comprehension is by fostering a love of reading! In this class, students will participate in a novel study of A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. A novel study is an in-depth look at all aspects of the novel, not just the story contained inside. Each week, learners will engage with the teacher, the novel, and each other to gain a better understanding of what they're reading, which will in turn improve their reading comprehension skills.
