Class Experience

This ONE WEEK CAMP will teach beginning readers CRUCIAL decoding skills for reading success! Ever have your child ask "how do you say this word?" because it doesn't follow 'typical' English patterns or the letter's short sound? THIS CLASS TEACHES THESE IMPORTANT IRREGULAR SOUND PATTERNS IN WORDS that they will find in Level A - Z books. Instead of teaching them to memorize that ONE word, I teach the "rule"/skill in a fun and engaging way that is GUARANTEED to work since it taps into the social part of their brain.  

We will learn a few new decoding skills each week:
Day 1 - Intro, Vowel Skill Review, silent E & near vowels 
Day 2- Double Vowels, AL & PH 
Day 3 - IE, OO & EW/EU
Day 4 - AY/EY & ER/IR/UR
Day 5 - OR, ED, & AR

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there, welcome! My name is JULIA KAUFMAN and I am so happy you are here. I am currently teaching Kindergarten, have my Bachelor of Science in Child Development, and have been a Camp Director and counselor for several years. I have spent years studying children’s social and emotional development, and living through this pandemic has been extra eye-opening to the importance of connection and relationship building for children. I recognize the setbacks that it has caused and am here to help your student keep moving forward!
     I am passionate about relationship building being at the core of ALL of my classes which will build your student's engagement during our time together. From life skills like learning empathy and self regulation, to academics such as phonics, reading, writing, and math content, to all things summer camp including FUN & ENGAGING ways to teach... I am here to support your child or children through this time of limited school, socializing, summer camp, and more and my classes target each of those areas! 
     I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! Take a look through my available classes and sign up for whatever suits your child's needs or interests! SEE YOU SOON :)
