Course Overview:  

CWCS’s Developmental online courses offer students the opportunity to study at home while employing technology as a learning tool, meeting with other students in a virtual classroom, and receiving live instruction from a teacher.

This class focuses on supporting students in improving their foundational reading skills which include decoding and fluency. These foundational skills are necessary for students to read effectively and fluently. Each class builds new skills and requires practice, for this reason, it is important that students attend class regularly, arrive to class on time, and come to class prepared to participate with working microphones.  

 

Curriculum and Required Materials: Working headset with microphone and the following Corrective Reading materials: Corrective Reading Decoding C curriculum

 

Technology Requirements: Students must have reliable internet access and a headset with a microphone. 

 

Grading: This is a supplemental course and grades are not given.

 

Attendance: Attendance is required. The Truancy Policy applies to Canvas courses. An unexcused absence may be counted as a truancy.

• Excused Absence is defined as:
  The parent shall notify the teacher by phone of the absence at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.
• Unexcused Absence is defined as:
  An absence that does not accompany a parent phone call to the instructor at least 24 hours* prior to the time the class meets.

*If there are extenuating circumstances that do not allow for at least 24 hours, then the teacher must still be notified prior to the start of class; allowances may be made depending on the circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances: car accident, sudden illness, etc. Students should arrange a "backup plan" in case of unexpected computer problems the day of the class (i.e. make pre-arrangements to go to a neighbor, friend, relative, library, etc.)  

Absent/Late Work: If a class is missed, email the instructor the date of absence.
