READING CLASSROOM

About the Instructor
Jamie Hoek was born and raised in Grass Valley, California and is the oldest of three children. Jamie is a Graduate of Chadron State College and has called Chadron her home for the last 3 years.

Curriculum
Jamie is the new Reading Teacher for the Red Cloud Middle School. For the Middle School students, Reading Class makes up half of the Language Arts Curriculum. Students work on reading books both as a class and in small groups, working on comprehension which including increasing background knowledge, making predictions, questioning, visualizing and increasing vocabulary.

The classes are beginning with a review of literary elements, so that they understand setting, character and plot. Some of the books the students will be reading this year are different from the past. Jamie has been working with the social studies teacher and for the first semester students will be reading books about the topics that they are studying in social studies. It is Jamie’s hope that by working with the other disciplines the students will have better understanding as well as retain the given information.

If you have any questions please feel free to email Jamie at jhoek@redcloudschool.org. "After all our goal is to make the students the best readers they can be.”
