1 hour per week. Each week, students will be challenged to find as many words as they can that follow the syllable pattern we are learning about. They can find words in the world around them or look in books! We will go over each student's list at the beginning of the first class of each week.Class Experience
US Grade 2 - 5
Welcome to our 5-week journey where young learners will delve into the fascinating world of syllables! Join us twice a week for engaging sessions as we unravel the mysteries of different syllable types. Each week, our quest begins with an exploration of a new syllable type. On day one, we'll unlock the secrets of the syllable, mastering its structure and function. Then, on day two, we'll embark on an exciting adventure to interact with words featuring that specific syllable type. By the course's end, you'll possess the remarkable ability to decode any word! Through a dynamic blend of reading and writing strategies, I'll customize the lessons to meet each child's unique learning needs, ensuring any knowledge gaps are filled along the way. Here's a peek into our 60-minute class schedule: - 5 minutes: Let's start with a warm welcome! We'll introduce ourselves, catch up on what's happened since our last meeting, and prepare for an enriching session. - 10 minutes: We'll either review the syllable type from the previous class or dive into a new one! Engaging videos will deepen our understanding of each syllable and hone our word-dissecting skills. - 40 minutes: Get ready to apply your newfound knowledge! Students will take turns breaking down words into syllables, seeking out words that match the syllable type, and creating their own words using their expertise. - Last 5 minutes: As a delightful reward for our hard work, we'll conclude with a fun class activity, provided we've covered our lesson material and everyone has demonstrated their best effort. Join us on this educational expedition, where every step brings us closer to mastering the art of syllables!
Learning Goals
By the end of the course, students will confidently identify and understand various syllable types, effectively decode and pronounce words of varying complexity, and demonstrate proficiency in applying syllable knowledge to reading and writing tasks.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Texas A&M University
Welcome! My name is Bayley and I’m so glad you’re here!
I am passionate about teaching because for me, being an educator is not just a profession; it's a true calling that fills me with joy and purpose. As a teacher, my goal is to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of my students. I firmly believe that education is a transformative force that empowers individuals to reach their fullest potential. Guided by this belief, I strive to create a learning environment that fosters growth, curiosity, and a love for learning.
My teaching philosophy centers around equipping students with the tools they need to become lifelong learners. I place a strong emphasis on cultivating independent thinking and problem-solving skills, empowering students to expand on their knowledge and create innovative solutions. I am particularly passionate about children's literacy and recognize that being a skilled reader and critical thinker lays the foundation for lifelong learning.
My experience in education ranges from preschool to high school in various subjects through traditional classroom settings and private tutoring, online and in-person. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University's College of Education and Human Development.
You will find a little bit of everything in my courses! Whether they focus on reading, science, math, or other subjects, I provide a safe and nurturing space where learners can take risks, be challenged, and develop the knowledge and skills they need to excel. I am dedicated to creating engaging and interactive lessons that cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that every student feels seen, valued, and supported.
In addition to group classes, I also offer individual tutoring to provide personalized support to students who need it for any reason. This can include homework help, lessons over a specific topic, assistance in filling gaps in learning, enrichment, or test prep and study skills. If you're interested in this and don't see a desired time listed, please don't hesitate to reach out to me so we can find a schedule that works for both of us.
I am thrilled to be a part of your child’s educational journey. Thank you for being here!Reviews
