Class Experience

In this one-time class, students will practice both phonemic awareness and phonics skills necessary for successful CVC word reading and spelling. Students will be engaged throughout the lesson through Nearpod, which is completely free and allows students to stay engaged throughout the lesson and to get quick feedback from their teacher as they are working. Students (or parents) do NOT need to create an account to participate in the lesson, but will need to be able to access Nearpod either through the website online or the Nearpod app.

*It is expected that your student already has mastered all or most of their lowercase letter identification and letter sounds to be successful in this class.*

This class will begin with phonemic awareness activities and then we will move into phonics skills for reading and spelling CVC words. Students will first practice blending 3 sounds together orally to make a word, without looking at any letters. To do this, I like to play a "mystery picture" game with a visual picture bank to help developing readers. Next, students will have an opportunity to segment CVC words on their own (again, no letters yet!) with a picture prompt for the CVC word and Elkonin boxes to provide additional visual supports.

Once students are comfortable with blending and segmenting CVC words without any letters, then we will move into blending 3 letter sounds together to read CVC words. Students will have the opportunity to use a visual picture bank to support their decoding skills, but we will also practice without any picture prompts to further extend your learner's blending and reading skills. Students will read and spell CVC words in isolation, then we will move into reading CVC words in decodable sentences.

If there is time at the end, we will play a CVC word spelling and reading game to help strengthen your student's reading fluency.

Because this is a ONE TIME class, CVC words will include a mix of all short vowels (a, e, i, o, u).

Class structure:
-Blending sounds to say CVC words
-Segmenting sounds in CVC words
-Spelling CVC words with Elkoin boxes
-Matching game (CVC words and pictures)
-Blending letter sounds to read CVC words (with and without visual support)
-Reading CVC words in a sentence (predictable sentences using "I see the ___." sentence frame)

Additional practice and extension activities will be provided after the class. If your learner would benefit from additional resources to utilize during the class (CVC word building mat, recording sheet), feel free to contact me and we can develop a good plan to support their success during our class.
