I have been teaching 1st grade for the past 5 years, and this class is perfect for students who know their letter sounds and are starting to learn how to read.  Songs and games are fun and engaging activities to help students remember letters, sounds, and words!  We'll focus on a couple different word families during each class, and learn how to read decodable CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words through games and songs.  Each lesson will have a similar layout: We'll start each lesson by reviewing letter sounds, singing the ABCs, and review what rhyming means.  Then we'll talk about our word families of the day and create a list together of all the words we can think of in those word families.  We then will move on to a game, which will allow the learners to practice reading the CVC words we're working on that day.  After the game, we will be singing a familiar song together, but plugging in some of our CVC words into the song to create a new version that we'll sing together!  This class will be LOTS of fun!
