1 hour per week. I would love them to download a phonics app of your choosing and do it a few times a week. If they would like to write in a journal, they can start by writing one thing they loved about each day. Gratitude is a wonderful practice for happiness, and it helps their writing!Assessment
My only goal is to make sure they practice writing so that they improve and feel confident. The best way to do this is a lot of positive feedback. The emphasis will be on basic writing skills and basic spelling and grammar.Class Experience
US Grade Preschool - 1
This English as a Second Language class is a fast, easy way for your child to improve their storytelling and writing in just 25 minutes! They will improve their spelling, punctuation and grammar. This class is good for kids who are just building their writing confidence and maybe struggle with some basic grammar. We'll help them develop their skills fast! I'll also give you ways to help your child improve outside of class, including asynchronous short video sessions for outside of class. You're not alone, parents. I get it. I can help. Kids will establish their basic skills and then they can progress to my picture book and chapter book writing class. They'll write about different things every time, so it won't feel repetitive. Every Week, Bring a Toy, A Real Pet, A Stuffed Animal, Food.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their spelling, punctuation, grammar and writing confidence. They will learn common phonics, basic punctuation, and parts of speech - nouns, verbs, adjectives, pronouns, and adverbs. They'll learn to write a basic story in English.
