In this on-going phonics class, decoding words will be taught to help the student become a better reader. Decoding is a key skill for learning to read. The learner will use decoding skills to "sound out" words that they don't recognize. We will practice counting syllables in words, learn the difference between open and closed syllables, and learn different letter patterns in words. We will also learn to identify diphthongs, digraphs, and consonant blends in words. The teacher will use a white board to model how to mark letter patterns in words to help the student improve in sounding out words. As an interactive activity, the student will also participate in marking words on his/her personal white board for fun and to aid in remembering how to decode words when reading. In this class, the student needs to know the letters and sounds of the alphabet. Each day, it is important that your child have a hand held white board with an Expo marker and eraser in class. It will be very helpful if the student sits near the computer with his/her white board so that the teacher can see it and check for understanding as we mark letter patterns in words together. As always, ESL students are welcome. Week of 10-19-22Topic 1: Phonetic skill # 1/When one consonant follows the vowel in a word, the vowel will be short.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Alabama Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Master's Degree in Education from Troy University
Hello! My name is Mrs. Kay and I have been enjoying teaching online with Outschool since the Fall of 2021!! I have a Masters degree in Elementary Education and a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been a Kindergarten teacher for many years and the last couple of years teaching, I was also teaching ESL students online early in the mornings. I retired in 2021 from the public school system but wanted to continue to use my teaching skills. I was fortunate to find Out School and be able to continue teaching children in a less restrictive way. In the below video, I demonstrate how I would teach reading online to young children.
As far as my teaching philosophy, I believe that all children can learn but they learn in a variety of ways. I like to address each type of learner by using a variety of teaching methods. For example using tactile/hands on objects helps the kinesthetic learner and using lots of pictures to teach with helps the visual learner. Young children especially benefit from
using a variety of teaching methods. In my years of teaching, I have taught many children how to read but one of my greatest loves has been working with children in the early stages of the writing process. If you are interested in me helping your young learner with the early stages of writing, please check out my “Little Writers Workshop “ class where I teach young children how to use a picture that they draw to make a story.
A little bit about me:
I was raised a farm/country girl and enjoy being around nature. My home that my husband built is surrounded by lots of woods and wildlife. The hobbies that I enjoy include cooking, baking, and gardening. In the summer, I enjoy canning fresh vegetables from our garden and going on fun trips with my family. This year, I will be the Art teacher for the school that I recently retired at so I am looking forward to this new adventure. I also hope to see your child on Out School!Reviews
