US Grade Preschool - 1
Beginner Level
Students should know the letters in the alphabet, and the sound that each letter makes. In this course, we will learn to blend CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words with short vowel sounds. These include words like cat, mom, dad, and bed. We will focus on one vowel sound in each class session, and will review the sounds and words that we have learned in previous classes. Students will learn through seeing written letters and words, by using body movements to represent sound, and through song. This course is especially helpful for young learners (preschool-Kindergarten) who are on the cusp of beginning to read, or for slightly older students (first grade+) who are struggling to consistently read CVC words.
Learning Goals
Students will decode regularly spelled one-syllable words containing a short vowel sound (CVC words)

Pre-Requisites
Learners should know the letters of the alphabet and their sounds. This will be reinforced throughout class so it's okay if they are not yet proficient with all letter sounds. Students who are proficient typically excel in this class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

As a former first grade teacher and an online ESL teacher, I have experience introducing phonics to students who are learning to read in English for the first time. I understand that different learners need different methods to help them grasp the concept of blending letter sounds into words.
