US Grade 1
Beginner Level
1st Grade Q4 Leveled Reading is for learners to focus on beginner 1st grade leveled books at an I level to help them work on natural reading skills and prep them for 2nd grade reading. Classes are live with a teacher and interactive using the Nearpod app! Each lesson will focus on getting through one book at an I level. According to U.S. standards, I leveled readers are considered the 4th quarter of a 1st grade reading level. When we work with beginner readers, it can be quite difficult to find properly scored books for them. Children's books are not written at a child's reading level. I N T H I S C O U R S E: We will read two books each lesson: Levels: ✅I Level = 1st Grade Quarter 4 We will practice: ✅Fluency ✅Vocabulary ✅Sight Words ✅High Frequency Words ✅Using Context + Phonics Skills to Identify New Words ✅Comprehension Practice This course does not focus primarily on phonics. If your child struggles with blends using digraphs, long vowel sounds, r-controlled sounds, and suffixes such as /-ed/ and /-ing/, they should start with Shields Scholars' "Reading Can Be Puzzling: 1st Grade" course and enroll into this course once they're comfortable with 1st grade level phonics. 1ST GRADE FULL COURSE: 👉 https://outschool.com/classes/reading-can-be-puzzling-1st-grade-IMxoLSLT?usid=eTXGXV4M&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link If you child is ready to move into 2nd grade reading and reading skills, take a look at our 2nd grade full reading course. 2ND GRADE FULL COURSE: 👉 https://outschool.com/classes/reading-can-be-puzzling-2nd-grade-SIVq5IwV?usid=eTXGXV4M&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link T E A C H I N G S T Y L E: ⭐Our teaching style at Shields Scholars is light-hearted and fun. ⭐We use Nearpod for this course, which is an interactive app for the lesson content. This way, kids not only learn via visual and auditory learning, they get to learn kinesthetically as well since they are physically involved in the lesson with simple games such as matching, drawing, memory tests, drag & drop features, and everyone's favorite - Time to Climb. Time to Climb is an interactive quiz where each child chooses a character for the game and as they answer questions correctly, their character races other students to the top of a mountain. First one to the top wins. ⭐You can find a parent demo Nearpod lesson below under the "Materials" section to use for free to see if this would be something your child would like. R E A D I N G A S S E S S M E N T S: Students do NOT have to be in kindergarten to attend this course, but their reading level should be at a minimum of a B level or quarter 3 of kindergarten to begin this course. If you do not know your child's current reading level, you can schedule a 1:1 reading assessment with Ms. Cassie here: 📅https://outschool.com/classes/11-student-assessment-xxqyURdf?usid=eTXGXV4M&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

Other Details
Learning Needs
This class does not specifically focus on ADHD or dyslexia support, but we have had children with both ADHD and dyslexia attend and be very happy with their results.
Parental Guidance
This class uses NearPod, which is a separate online resource.
**NearPod is necessary for your learner to participate in this course!**
Parents and/or guardians, please read the classroom announcements page prior to class to get your learner set up before class begins. Your learner may also need help throughout the lesson to complete the games and use the features, at least at the beginning of the course. This class is for young learners who may not fully understand how to click on a computer or set up NearPod on their own.
All communications will be updated via the classroom page, so please have your notifications turned on. This way Outschool will forward any and all classroom posts to your email so you don't miss any announcements.
Pre-Requisites
Learners should be able to read at a 1st grade level. This class is going to prep them for 2nd grade reading, so they should be quite comfortable blending and know all 1st grade phonics rules to join this class.
Supply List
WHAT IS NEARPOD? NearPod is an interactive, online resource that we use for class. NearPod includes games relevant to the lesson to keep learners engaged the entire time since there is something for them to be focusing on and physically doing every few minutes. This can include little quizzes, matching, drag & drop, drawing, 3D, virtual reality, etc. NearPod is necessary for your learner to participate in addition to Zoom. If available, two devices is ideal for these classes. Most of my students like to have Zoom up on one device and NearPod on a touch device such as a tablet, iPad, or smartphone to make clicking on answers easy for little fingers. However, two separate devices is NOT necessary to participate if not available! ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● PLEASE FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS Check our classroom posts!
