🥳Awesome Offer! Save on Outschool classes by enrolling in the Outschool Membership Program.  Save $20 on your new membership enrollment by using code MsStace20. 🥳


Welcome all 4–7-year-old learners who know alphabet letters and letter sounds!  Come join fun engaging activities to learn how to segment, blend, read, spell, and write word family words. 

Each week learners focus on a new word family.  We will:
~ recognize common letter and rhyme patterns
~ manipulate the first sounds in words to produce and read rhyming words
~ enhance vocabulary, spelling, & writing skills 
~ increase reading fluency 
~ learn strategies for decoding words 

Word family skills and class activities help to build strong independent readers. 

JOIN ANYTIME - Each class is independent and does not build upon one another.  Class is taught on an 8 week rotation schedule so learners have access to all 8 lesson weeks no matter when they join.

Not able to join 2x a week?  This class is also offered as a once a week option to offer flexible schedule for busy families.  

ESL learners welcomed and encouraged to join.
 
During each session learners will enhance developing reading skills through a variety of fun activities.  We will use interactive slides and a engaging games.  We will read and discuss fun word family stories.  Please have a dry erase board & marker available for your learner to use during class. Paper and pencil/markers work too. We will end with a short sight word video song if time allows.  An optional printable worksheet and book can be found in the classroom.  These are optional materials for anyone that wants to practice skills covered in class.

Class Expectations for Learners: 

~Have fun!
~Follow directions (Use your listening ears.) 
~Be respectful to everyone in class. (Use kind words.) 
~Be patient (wait patiently while others are talking.) 

Class Notes: 

~Class duration is approximately 25 minutes (class could end a few minutes early or go over by a few minutes due to number of learners and the overall pace of the class depending on varying skill levels.)
~Please have a small dry erase board, eraser, and marker available to use during class time (paper and marker, pencil, or crayons work too!) These items are optional and are meant to enhance your child’s learning experience. 
~An optional printable worksheet will be posted to use as a follow up activity to practice what we learn during each session.

Class Polices:  

~Learners will be moved from the waiting room into the class at the scheduled start time.  If no learners are present, I will log out of the classroom after waiting for ten minutes.  
~Each class session will begin at the scheduled time even if learners are not present.  Again, after waiting ten minutes, session will close if no learners join by this time. 
~Parent/Caregivers are encouraged to be nearby off camera (to the side of the screen/camera as this is an Outschool policy.) to assist your learner with technical operations of the live session (sign-in, making sure camera is turned on, muting/unmuting if needed, and sign-off at the end) I usually do not mute learners, however, if there is a feedback noise or noise in the background such as a tv or someone talking on a phone then I will use the mute feature so that all can hear throughout the class. 
~Due to the number of learners and their pace moving through the planned activities, it is possible that we may end a few minutes early or go over by a few minutes. 
~I will follow the refund policy outlined on the Outschool website. 


Thank you for considering my class. I look forward to working with you and your child. My goal is to help your learner build a strong foundation for beginning reading skills.
