Community Owls’ instructors are highly qualified, experienced teachers who love teaching, but more importantly, love teaching literacy. Using tools like whisper phones, fresh reads, and timers, your child will have a hoot in these fun and interactive classes. We make sure they also are acquiring the necessary tools to become a more fluent and confident reader. kr Reading Boot Camp Grades 2–3 Your growing reader will have a hoot practicing their reading fluency in a fun, interactive atmosphere. Each student receives passages to practice pace, phrasing, expression, and punctuation. Children learn to self-monitor their reading by using timers and graphing their scores. The instructor provides step by step instruction on reading fluency, including vocabulary and comprehension. Price inc
