Description
Class Experience
Did you know that it doesn't have to take an entire school year for your child to learn the letter sounds?! This class offers a multi-sensory approach to learning the alphabet by using animal visuals, sounds, and movements, so diverse students quickly learn phonetic sounds within a week. This course is one of a sequence of four courses where students learn to master their sounds and letter names. The sequence is as follows Part 1: Lowercase Sounds; Part 2: Uppercase Sounds; Part 3:...
1. Recall 26 lowercase phonetic sounds and animals that begin with the same sound
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.A (Consonant sounds)
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3.B (Short Vowel sounds only are addressed)
2. Identify words that begin with a letter sound (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.B)
3. Identify a beginning sound for a word or object (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.1.B)
4. Use oral language to communicate through songs, poems, and finger plays
5. Engage in brain friendly and body-friendly exercise while learning
For optimal success, students should review hand movements, sounds, and letter names assigned weekly with games or printouts. For instant at-home fun and review, I recommend downloading the Zoo-phonics online game app "The Address Book". Free downloads are available in the App Store, Google Apps, and a PC version. Students will be able to practice the Zoo-phonics song "Come Meet Us at the Zoo" and each of the letter characters, sounds, and movements. Students can also review the characters and sounds with the handouts "Zoo-phonics Cast and Characters" provided by me. Students will be allowed to bring in ONE stuffed animal or object on Friday. Students should choose ONE letter and bring ONE object that begins with that letter.
5 files available upon enrollment1. scissors 2. stick glue 3. paper bag 4. crayons 5. playdough and plastic sleeve ( $ Tree teacher section) or gallon ziploc bag 6. printouts provided by teacher (Zoo-phonics grid games are better printed on cardstock) 7. writing materials of choice for letter formation such as (pencil or crayon and blank paper; dry erase board and marker)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Informal assessment is done through question and answer between teacher and students, but no formal assessment is performed.
2 hours 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
