The Rumpus Readers

Quarter 4: April 1- May 31
Instructor: Yvette Pompa
Grades: K-2
Time: Wednesday, 3:10-4:10 pm
Price: $115
The Rumpus Readers meet for an hour once a week giving the readers ample opportunity to read their book, write down any notes, thoughts, or questions they have that they want to bring to the next meeting.  
An age and ability reading group developed to encourage greater literacy skills. Using picture books, we will look at the art and the written word.  A writing journal and copy of the book will be provided.  The art and written word give so much to the reader and this program will assist them in identifying a problem, sift out irrelevant information, and link new information to what they already know!
I ask that parents read the book once with their child prior to each book club session so that they are familiar with the content.  We will read it again, but spend our time processing our discussion skills to create meaning from each book. 
There will be a total of six picture books provided to each Rumpus Reader along with a journal.
