Class Experience

In this ongoing course we will practice decoding each week through decodable text and a variety of activities. Each week will have a different digraph decodable reader. This is great is your learner knows CVC word but, needs something a little more challenging.  Decodable readers are important because they can boost a child's confidence. If a child feels like a reader, they will be better readers. Decodable readers allow students to decode words and be successful readers. Decodable readers contain so much decodable text it allows students to apply and practice phonics skills. Decodable readers are a key part of phonics instruction that helps students succeed as readers and writers! This class is kept at a small group so individualized attention can be given and given an opportunity to read. 


To be successful in this course your learner should be able to:
-Identify all uppercase and lowercase letters.
-Know letter sounds.
-Having an understanding of vowels sounds.

If you are unsure if this class is a good fit please message me and I can help guide you. I offer a variety of reading courses for different levels.

**MATERIALS**
-This class will have a reader to print each week. For your learner to be most successful it is recommended to print the reader and worksheet each week. 
-Readers are set up to print on both sides instructions will be in the classroom page. It is easy to do and most home printers can. I have it set up this way to save paper. If you cannot print double sided please let me know and I will provide a document for regular printing!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Jessica—my students call me Ms. Jessica. I've been an online educator since 2020, and my passion for teaching is deeply rooted in both my academic background and personal journey.

I hold a B.S. in Management and Leadership (2016) and went on to pursue a Master of Arts in Teaching with a focus on Special Education. During that time, I also made the choice to homeschool my children, which gave me firsthand insight into creating engaging and flexible learning experiences.

When it comes to teaching I have years of substitute teaching experience and online teaching (5 years). When pursuing my Masters of Teaching in Special Education I did intensive courses on reading intervention and ways to help struggling students and have been able to apply that when homeschooling my own kids and tutoring others. 

My personal life has greatly influenced how I teach. My younger brother has Autism, and my oldest son has Down syndrome. These experiences have shaped my understanding of diverse learning needs and helped me create inclusive, supportive environments where every student can thrive.

I offer classes that reflect my passions and the interests I share with my kids—ranging from earth science and bird watching to interactive book clubs. I believe learning should be joyful, meaningful, and tailored to each child's strengths.

I can't wait to learn and explore with your learner!
