In this ongoing, small guided reading group, the students will work on beginning reading skills. The students will develop a strong reading foundation. Each lesson will begin with a focus on rhyming activities. Some of the activities will include erase a rhyming word, and/or a rhyming song with picture cards. The students will then participate in word work ("If you know -og, you can spell hog.") which will also include letters (phonics) and letter sound (phonemic awareness) activities. The students will work with letter blends to extend the word work. In each lesson the students will then focus on one to three vocabulary words with activities such as invisible words, rainbow words, or fancy words. The class will end with the students reading a leveled book. Each class will be adjusted to meet the needs of the learners. Feel free to send me a message about your learner. Your learner is welcome to join at any time. Week 1: Rhyming game~A, a~ Read: A Toy Box and What's In This Egg?

Hi! Welcome to my Outschool classroom.
My name is Betty Nilssen. 💕
I have a BS in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish from UW-Milwaukee. I am a first grade teacher, but I have also taught second, third and fourth grade, full inclusive classrooms. My passion for teaching reading while incorporating phonics, phonemic awareness, rhyming, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, science, social studies, math, drawing and writing helps children strengthen their academic skills while they gain academic confidence and a love of learning. Teaching reading is my super power.
However, I always incorporate math, writing, drawing, social studies and science, including magnets and animal life cycles into all of my lessons, as well.
I have three adult daughters and two of them are teachers. My mom was also an educator.
There are so many books to read, words and sentences to write, math equations to solve and fiction and non fiction pictures to draw. Let's get started!
Enroll your Early Childhood Education student and your child will further develop an academic foundation and gain academic confidence with a love of learning. Your child will be a life time reader!
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if you are looking for different times or dates for classes.
I can't wait to work with you and your child and further a passion for learning!
