The learner will receive an assessment during the first class so that we may begin at their level. I will use slides, stories, games, poems and rhymes to teach and review phonics starting with phonemes and segmenting. As the learner becomes more proficient with the phonetic sounds, I will introduce whole language sight words from the Dolch Sight Word Lists and stories. I will then move on to syllables, digraphs, blends, diphthongs, vowels, and consonants. Finally, we will move to reading comprehension and vocabulary building.
