Mr. Owens Gibson Elementary School
Danville, VA Grades 3-5

I am a fifth grade teacher and I teach all subjects. I have a total of 23 students in my classroom. I'm working to improve my students reading level. My class reading level ranges from 3-6.

Language arts and reading should not only be taught from textbooks and worksheets! I believe students should have fun while learning. There are interactive instructional aids on the market that reinforce language arts and reading skills.

The Learning Well comprehension instructional aids incorporate Bloom’s Continuum of Cognitive Thinking Skills. The instructional aids focus on five of Bloom’s six subdivision of cognitive domain; knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, and synthesis. The following instructional tools will be used as an aid to learning and teaching in my classroom. I believe students learn more when they are engaged in collaborative learning setting.

Your help with these fun, highly motivating instructional aids which focus on specific skills necessary for comprehending texts in variety of forms make possible for my students to be ready end grade testing and middle school.
