CLICK BELOW TO WATCH A VIDEO OF ME READING WITH MY KIDS. I recorded these videos during the spring covid quarentine 2020 to keep in contact with my students and review some of the comprehension strategies we were learning when we had our sudden two-week quarantine. Since then, many of my students have said they enjoyed watching these videos, so I decided to leave them on my website for students to continue to enjoy!
