Beginning Phonics FLEX 2: Beg. Sounds, Ending Sounds, CVC Words and Handwriting

**Students must know the majority of the letter sounds to be successful in this course! If your child does not know their letter sounds I highly recommend they take Beginning Phonics FLEX 1: Letter Sounds before this class. Students DO NOT need to know how to write their letters to take this class**

A FLEX class does not rely on live meetings but instead has videos and other posts in the Outschool classroom. This is ideal for learning these beginning phonics skills because your child can practice over and over again. In addition, every child learns these skills at their own pace and this class allows them to view materials again if they need additional practice and instruction.  Students can move through the weekly videos at their own pace and spend time working at their own level instead of having to wait for or rush to stay with other students. 

Each week will include Three Parts: Phonological Awareness, Phonics Instruction and Handwriting

Phonological Awareness: interactive video weekly
Phonics Instruction: three to five interactive videos weekly, two age appropriate worksheets (one coloring based, one focused on cutting and glueing)
Handwriting: Video introducing how to write weekly letters, weekly practice sheets

Additional Materials

Parent Outline: I will provide an outline of how parents can support their students and use the materials in the most effective way
Extension Activities: Activities moving beyond the classroom and encouraging students to apply their new skills in the real world
Printable Letters: to utilize as manipulatives along with some of my videos to create words or sounds without needing to write. You are welcome to use magnets, blocks, etc as manipulatives if you prefer
