Welcome to Mrs. Hook's Magical World of Reading !!!!

      My classes are designed to help any first grade student who is having difficulty with reading.  My goal is to make reading easier for each of my students.  Your child's classroom teacher and I work together to bring each student up to speed with his/her reading skills.  I see students in small groups, which enables me to individualize my teaching plans to fill their specific needs.  This runs the gamut from phonemic awareness (hearing sounds and identifying letters) to phonics to sight vocabulary development to comprehension to fluency.  The magic comes in when students start to enjoy reading as they become more and more successful with it!!!
