First Grade Phonics: Essential Skills for Reading, Spelling, & Writing (Part 2)

This listing is for Part 2 of the class. Part 1 is not required to take Part 2.

Phonics skills are the foundation of reading, spelling, and writing for young learners. This course covers all of the essential phonics skills for first-grade students. Utilizing the UFLI Foundations Curriculum, learners will receive systematic, explicit, hands-on, and engaging phonics instruction. This unique curriculum features interleaved practice of skills, so learners will continuously be practicing previously learned skills while also be introduced to new skills. This unique, small group class is the perfect setting for learners to be able to participate and feel connected to the other learners in the class, while making amazing growth in their phonics skills. 

The course syllabus outlines all of the phonics skills we will be covering. Each lesson will span three class sessions and will include the following:

-concept introduction/review
-phonemic awareness
-visual and auditory practice 
-blending practice
-word work
-reading
-spelling
-sentence writing
-decodable text

We will spend 3 days covering each lesson. An optional, at-home assessment will be provided via pre-recorded video after the completion of each lesson. Optional home practice is also provided. 

At the end of this course, learners will be able to read, spell, and write with confidence!
