Instructors will provide guidance on the students' assigned homework. The instructors will encourage students to improve their time management and organization skills.
Educational Enrichment
Targeted Reading Instruction for Grades 2, 3, & 4
Students have direct instruction on ways to improve word study skills, grammar usage, comprehension, and fluency. Students hear and read multicultural stories that are used as a spring board to illicit conversation and the exchange of ideas. The genre readings influence the individual and group writings of the students. The students also create authentic samples of food to share. In addition, the students are scheduled to visit the local Mount Vernon Library to encourage opportunities to enhance literacy skills, as well as incorporate computer literacy with their individual presentation.
Literature Enrichment
• Grades K-l listen to and read a variety of children's stories and have a unit of study on Poetry. They perform dramatizations based on the stories and poems read.
• Grades 5-6 take part in reading and discussing a variety of genres with activities that reflect the varied
cross-curricular themes explored throughout the year.
