US Grade Kindergarten - 1
**Please note, it is important that before taking this class your child knows his or her letter sounds. Join me in this one time class where I will read If You Give a Dog a Donut by Laura Numeroff, while your child will be encouraged to read the repetitive phrases along with me! Before reading, we will discuss the parts of a book. Next we will practice short vowel sounds with CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words while students follow along with an optional printout that I will send out before class. CVC words will help your child learn to spell short words phonetically, drawing on knowledge of sound-letter relationships. They are the key to transforming simple sounds into words and CVC words are integral part of any pre-reading program. I hope to see your soon to be reader in my class!
