This is a flexible learning class schedule, so all work is essentially "homework" you will do on your own time. Expect to spend about 45 min per week on the class content and then I would strongly suggest additional time practicing reading the words.Class Experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
This class is geared toward students who are just beginning to read long vowels, vowel digraphs, irregular, and r controlled vowels. Most word families are long vowels, but some fall into those other categories. Most students at this level are probably Kindergarten, First, or Second Grade. A struggling third grader may also fit this description well. This class is not appropriate for 3 year olds. Prerequisites: Knows letter names and letter sounds, and can sound out small cvc words independently. Ready to move onto long vowels, vowel digraphs, r controlled vowels, and longer words. Can use scissors pretty well. For cvc words and less difficult words, check out my other class, Beginning Reading Flex Class: Decode Short Vowel Words. Each class will focus on a word family. A word family is a group of words that rhyme, such as the -at family would be cat, hat, sat, mat, etc. Most of the words will have blends (sl, sk, tr, etc.) at the beginning. Students do not need prior experience with blends, and they will be introduced in every class. This course is a series of twelve classes. I will provide an interactive video demonstrating decoding the word family together and do a word study aloud, then students will complete an activity that corresponds to the word family of the week. Each week parents will be expected to do a small amount of prep work in printing materials and gathering a few art supplies. If your child has difficulty cutting with scissors, I would suggest pre-cutting the needed materials for them or sitting nearby to help. Student: 1. View videos 2. Interact with videos, audibly reading the words aloud and answering questions 3. Complete the weekly projects 4. Share the weekly projects to the classroom 5. Interact with the teacher on the classroom page 6. Let your classmates know your thoughts on their projects Teacher: 1. Will leave feedback for students on their projects in the classroom 2. Will post weekly interactive videos and games 3. Will help scaffold student discussions of each other's projects through the classroom If your student is above this level of reading and is ready for more difficult long vowel and irregular vowel sounds, check out my other class Beginning Reading Flex: Decoding Long Vowels.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am Ms. Kristin (she/her), and I am so excited to be a part of the Outschool community! I have a B.S. in Elementary Education from Oklahoma State University, and hold a current teaching certificate in Oklahoma. I have a total of 20 years of teaching experience in PreK-5th grades. I choose to homeschool my own kids (three boys - 2nd, 6th, and 9th graders.) I am currently both the coordinator and an elementary school teacher for the elementary program at our local secular homeschool academy. I love to sew and read when I have free time! My guilty pleasure is binge watching corny TV shows.
I hope to offer a range of fun and exciting courses on Outschool geared toward the PreK-4th grade age range. My favorite subjects to teach are writing, reading, science, and crafts. I can't wait to meet your families and include you in my world of learning!
