Encanto Reading Class: Ongoing Level 3 (Final Level!)

In this fun and interactive class, students will practice reading and fluency on their individual level in an Encanto-themed story. Students should come to this class with a prior knowledge of the letter sounds, how to sound out simple words, and some knowledge of sight words. We will take their prior knowledge to hammer down sounding out more complex words. Once students have come to class for a few weeks, reading more difficult words from the stories I create should become easier as they build confidence in reading. Students can join this class at any time. The lessons will not build on each other. Activities included in this class include:

-A very quick review of some digraphs/ diphthongs and sight words that will be used in the story for today. 
-Students will take turns reading sentences from an Encanto-themed story that I create as the teacher. During this time, students will be in the "spot light" and get a little bit of individualized instruction and help with their sentences. Students may receive 2 or more sentences depending on time. We will always aim for more practice, but fluency will be pushed as well. 
-Students will use what they learned in their reading for their handwriting component. For example, if they learned a new vocabulary word, they will use that word in a sentence. If the student learned a new diphthong or digraph (i.e. "ou" as in "house"), then they will write words containing that sound. 
-We will sing an Encanto song at the end as a reward for doing a great job in class! :)
