Students will learn the definition of a word family.  They will learn how to use the word family "chunks" to read, write, and spell words,  and they will do some fun activities to help them recognize word family words.  At the end of class, students will be able to read a sentence using one or more of the words that were learned in class.

I am a former elementary school teacher with 29 years in public education. I taught 19 years as a first grade teacher and 10 years as a reading teacher. I have a Masters degree in Elementary Education, and I am a certified reading teacher.  I love teaching young children.  I feel it is important for kids to have fun while they are learning so I make my lessons fun and engaging!

Homework
Frequency: included
Feedback: included
Details: I post several review pages for your child to complete after the recorded lesson if he/she needs some additional practice.  These are not required; they are offered just for some fun extra word family work!
Your child can complete the worksheets on their own or with help from a grown-up.  If your child would like me to look at the pages, you can send a picture of them to me by email.  I would love to tell your child "great job"!  Students can also send me a short video of them reading the word family words or completing the worksheets.

This class will be most beneficial to students who have a basic knowledge of letters and sounds.
