Reading, Phonics, Fun!

During this ongoing class, learners will have the opportunity to practice their early reading skills using game based and interactive activities.  I will tailor each lesson to focus on areas that need support as well as highlight the learner's strengths in order to allow the learner to leave each class feeling confident in their abilities and look forward to future reading practice.  I will encourage the learner to share interests so that I can create reading/phonics...

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn to read by practicing their phonics and reading skills through interactive fun activities.  The students will practice letter identification (upper and lower case), letter sounds, vowels / consonants, CVC words, sight words, digraphs/ blends, R-controlled vowels, reading practice with teacher created simple words/phrases/sentences/passages, and reading comprehension.

Recommended Supplies (Students may use these items for class)
Whiteboard & Dry Erase Markers (if possible)
Crayons/Marker/ Pencils & Paper

I will send a message prior to future classes if additional supplies are needed for a fun craft activity, but prefer to keep it simple to allow students an opportunity to work more independently and allow parents to use this 25 min class period as needed with only basic supervision needed on their part.

25 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

If student is new to Outschool/Zoom, please be in the room or available to help student with mute/unmute buttons if needed.  Otherwise minimal parental guidance should be needed.  

I may include occasional seated limited movement activity for learners who may need a movement break.  This is optional and learner can opt out of participating or I can skip movement activities if requested.

If your student loved a movement/transition song used during class, below is a list of educational creators the teacher incorporates (with permission) in various classes.

The teacher may use a story she wrote to support class lessons as an additional activity for students as needed.
