Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
This class is designed as an intervention for young people with reading difficulties, and it's also beneficial for ESL students who wish to improve their reading skills. The class is open to all students who would like to read better, but it's particularly effective for those who are learning English as a second language.

My reading classes provide guided small-group reading instruction to young readers. The groups are kept small to ensure each learner's needs are met. More than just a learning environment, I foster a warm and caring atmosphere for children to learn and flourish, ensuring their emotional well-being. Your child's participation in this class will ensure they are fully prepared for their school reading classes.

Is This Class Right For My Child?
Level II of my improving reading classes is intended for children reading beyond kindergarten-level books. Children should know many sight words and can read books with several sentences on the page, such as many of the 'Biscuit' books. The books used in this class are on the first-grade reading level and consist of fiction and nonfiction. If your child can read this, "I know what to do.  I have a plan. First, I need a big blue pan. I get a spoon. I scoop some up.  One scoop, two scoops, drip and drop." they are ready for this class. If this is difficult for them, I suggest my Level I class. If this is too easy for them, I suggest my Level III class.

Examples Of Some Of The Books Read During The Beginning of this class include:
(Beginning with Guided Reading Levels E and F)
“National Geographic Safari”
“Biscuit Loves the Park”
“Everyone Eats”
“Big Shark Little Shark”
“Jog Frog Jog”
“Pete the Cat Too Cool for School”
“Goat in A Boat”

Examples of the Literacy Activities Engaged in During Class:
-analyzing and practicing vowels teams, CVC words & word families,
-reviewing phonics and phonemic awareness,
-reviewing spelling patterns,
-examining how words work,
-learning new vocabulary words,
-rereading a familiar text on the screen,
-reading a new text,
-practicing reading strategies,
-engaging in echo reading, choral reading, or partner reading to improve fluency,
-and answering comprehension questions during different stages of the reading process.

Students Will Improve In:
- decoding unfamiliar words 
-reading essential sight words, 
-using phonics,
-expanding their vocabulary
-deepening comprehension
-reading more fluently, 
-and gaining reading confidence.

These classes are learner-directed, and materials are chosen for each session depending on the learners' needs for that particular class at that particular time. We read new books each week.

I understand that life can be unpredictable. You have the flexibility to pause the class for any week your child cannot attend and resume when you are ready, provided spots are available. This feature ensures that the class can easily fit into your child's schedule, giving you peace of mind. Or, if you want to ensure that your spot is saved, you can watch the class videos for any missed classes.

Zoom Expectations:
Our guided reading lessons consist of constant interaction between the teacher and the students, making it essential to have their microphone and video on during class. Please ensure that your child has a quiet background not to distract the class.

Learning Goals

Students Will Improve In:
- decoding unfamiliar words 
-reading essential sight words, 
-using phonics,
-expanding their vocabulary
-deepening comprehension
-reading more fluently, 
-and gaining reading confidence.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
During a portion of the class, I will be sharing my screen so that children can watch phonics videos such as those on Youtube, HeidiSongs, and PhonicsGarden. Children are briefly watching these videos on my screen and you are not required to create an account for your children to watch these videos.
Pre-Requisites
Children should be able to read the popular 'Biscuit' books, know many common sight words and have some phonics knowledge to begin this class.
Supply List
You do not need to purchase any books for this class.  Students will be reading books on screen. However, you will need to purchase magnetic letters for students to use for some of our word activities.  Please see the link below the get an idea of the type of magnets you will need.
