Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Is your child ready to start reading simple words? Join me for a Blending to Read Taster Class—a fun and interactive introduction to blending sounds into words! This one-time class is perfect for kindergarten-aged children who already know their letter sounds and are eager to take the next step in their reading journey. In this taster class, your child will experience how blending individual sounds together creates words, and how they can start reading with confidence.

What to Expect in the Taster Class:
* Introduction to Blending: Your child will practice blending sounds (such as "c" + "a" + "t" = "cat") to form simple words. We’ll work with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words to start, making it a fun and achievable way to begin reading.
* Hands-on Blending Activities: Using interactive games, songs, and word-building exercises, children will learn how to put sounds together to make words. These fun activities will engage your child and make learning to blend enjoyable.
* Word Families & Rhyming: Your child will also be introduced to word families (like “-at,” “-it,” and “-ot”) and rhyming words, helping them recognise word patterns and build their vocabulary.
* Start Reading Simple Words: As children begin blending, they will start reading short, simple words, setting the foundation for reading fluency and confidence.
* Engaging & Fun Learning: This taster class is designed to be a lively, interactive experience that encourages your child to explore reading through games, songs, and playful activities that keep them excited to learn.

Why Take the Full Blending to Read Course: After experiencing the excitement of this taster class, your child will be ready to continue their journey into reading with my full Blending to Read Course. The course dives deeper into blending sounds, reading more complex words, and building reading fluency. With more hands-on activities, word-building exercises, and the opportunity to read simple sentences, your child will develop the skills they need to become a confident, independent reader.

The Blending to Read Taster Class is the perfect way to get started—giving your child the confidence to blend sounds and begin reading, all while having fun! Join me for this exciting preview, and see how your child can continue to grow as a reader in this full course.

I specialise in the Early Years Foundation, though I have taught children throughout primary of all different backgrounds and ability levels including children who have learning difficulties.

I look forward to meeting you and your little one for some fun and engaging learning!
