📚 Welcome Readers! 📚 My name is Megan and I am an independent teacher. I am proud to offer my classes on the Outschool marketplace, and I look forward to meeting your learner! Key Stage 1 (KS1) Reading Series for Beginning Readers: ⚬ Levelled Reading for Phonics, Fluency, and Comprehension ⚬ Homework included! ⚬ Rhino Readers Series: Decodable, Diverse, and Dynamic ⚬ ESL Students Welcome! ⚬ Stay for just 1 class, or come back for as many classes as you would like! Welcome to this exciting collection of fully decodable levelled reading books! Levelled reading is a wonderful way to improve fluency and comprehension. The books in this series of levelled reading include fiction, non-fiction, poetry (rhyme), and beautiful illustrations. Developed and published by Twinkl, the books in this levelled reading series have been approved for their high quality by the UK Department of Education as part of the publisher's Approved Phonics Teaching Programme. These private levelled reading classes are ideal for focussed learning and individualised support for your learner. Learners will build confidence in their reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension through the levels within this series. Learners will apply their phonics sounds and tricky (high frequency) word knowledge gradually through each level. GENERAL AGE GUIDELINES: Level 1: Pre-readers check out my Story Time class! https://bit.ly/Megans_StoryTime Level 2: Age 5 Level 3: Ages 5-6 Level 4: Ages 5-6 Level 5: Ages 6-8+ Level 6: Ages 6-8+ (These ages are examples only. The reading level your child works on will be based on their individual reading ability or English ability.) This class is ideally suited to beginning readers, struggling readers, or learners wanting to develop their comprehension and reading fluency skills in English. Learners can enrol in one class, or as often as would be beneficial to your learner's reading development. If taking this class more than one time, I will ensure that appropriate data tracking is monitored as your learner progresses through each level. Our First Class: Before class begins, please contact me directly to discuss a reading level for your learner and to address the needs of your learner. Our first class together will begin with a short assessment to help select the ideal reading level for your learner. Our Continued Classes: In our reading classes, we will begin by reviewing phonetic sounds and tricky words. Your learner will then be guided through the reading, with individualised focussed support. Your learner will develop word and sound recognition, reading fluency, phonetic awareness, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.

Learning Goals

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Here in the United Kingdom, we speak and write using British English vocabulary and spelling. In the reading, there may occasionally be words that are spelled differently to American English (in the USA: color; in Britain: colour). There may also be occasional vocabulary words that relate to British English, rather than American English. Any unfamiliar words will be discussed with your child to ensure comprehension and to support vocabulary development.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
