1 hour per week. At the end of class, I will provide a couple of at-home sheets for your learner to complete so that I am able to assess their learning. One will show me if they are able to identify the letter of the day, and another will show me that they know the sound the letter makes and which words contain that sound. I will provide additional *optional* activities with some letter days (like a vegetable soup recipe for letter V day) so that you can keep the fun going at home! I will also provide links to online games for students to continue practicing their letters after class is over.Grading
I am happy to review your learner's printable work when it's finished if you send me a photo or a scan of it! This isn't required, but if you want an assessment for your learner, it's the best way for me to see if they're retaining knowledge from each class.Class Experience

In Ms. Julie and Pippa's classes, the focus is on keeping kids connected, engaged, learning and smiling. In Alphabet Superheroes, we learn the alphabet and early literacy skills by leaning into one letter each day. Flex classes allow learners to engage with the material when it's most convenient and productive for them! This section of the Alphabet Superheroes class offers five 25-minute videos for students to watch and five follow-up activity sheets to help me assess their learning each week. We will follow the same schedule with new material in each 30-minute class: - Sing good morning and check on our friends' feelings - Move and groove to a wiggle-buster song - Explore our mystery bag to learn about a new letter - Sing or play a fun and silly game with our new knowledge - Sound out and spell words (both real and nonsense) with the letter of the day - Draw a picture using our letter of the day - Read and interact with a theme-related story - Sing a goodbye song At the end of class, I will provide a couple of at-home sheets for your learner to complete so that I am able to assess their learning. One will show me if they are able to identify the letter of the day, and another will show me that they know the sound the letter makes and which words contain that sound. The schedule of "letters of the day" is below. Note that we study the alphabet out of order!

Parental Guidance
Our class will include movement, so students will benefit from being able to get out of their seat, and will enjoy class the most with at least enough room to spin with their arms out. All students will be able to access all parts of class seated, but most usually enjoy moving along with the songs!

A paper and writing utensil will be needed in every class.

I am heading into my fourth year of teaching preschool literacy on Outschool. Prior to my Outschool career, I was a literacy tutor and interventionist for five years. I have a BFA in English and a MA in Education. My own daughter learned the alphabet in my online ABC classes, so I truly believe in them and have crafted them to be the most fun and engaging class a kid can take!
