Class Experience
US Grade Preschool - 2
This class is often scheduled by request, so please feel free to message me about different times. This class will be specially tailored to the needs and learning goals of your student. Let me know if you have questions! Worlds of excitement and adventure open up for children as they experience the joy of reading! When a student is given a strong foundation of phonics, this joy is entered into eagerly and without reservation. In this phonics class your student will take their knowledge of the alphabet (basic consonant and short vowel sounds) and apply it to forming words using "blend ladders." This is a technique that will help them avoid common frustrations of early readers as they learn to "sound out" words. For example, we will first practice our 5 short vowel sounds. Secondly, we will pair them with a consonant to form a blend: ba-, be-, bi-, bo-, bu-. Finally, if the student is advanced to this point, we'll add an ending consonant: b-at/bat, b-et/bet, b-it/bit, b-ot/bot, b-ut/but. For learners who are ready, we will add the study of special sounds such as "th-, -igh, -gn, ear-." This is also a perfect setting for moving on to CVCe words. This class will be specially tailored to the needs and learning goals of your student. Let me know if you have questions!
Learning Goals
Students will learn the necessary skill of sounding out blends to prepare them for reading.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Pensacola Christian College
Hello! I hope to have you join me in my classroom! I have a degree in education and have taught first and second grade and high school English in a private school. For the last 8 years, I have homeschooled my own children, which included teaching each of them to read. From the very beginning, we found that a strong phonics foundation was the key to reading success. Hope to see you soon!Reviews
