In this fun, interactive, 5-day camp, the learners will practice their phonics with short vowel sounds: A, E, I, O, U. Each day we will practice a different vowel, its short phonetic sound, and CVC (consonant/vowel/consonant) words with the short vowel sound. I love to engage the learners with fun props, flashcards, and interactive, animated PowerPoint slides. The material is covered over 5 days (one week): Day 1: A Day 2: E Day 3: I Day 4: O Day 5: U We will begin the class learning our new vowel. We will practice making the short phonetic sound. We will then practice several CVC words with its short phonetic sound. For example, in the first class, we will learn the letter A. We will see a fun flashcard and practice saying "A" and its short phonetic sound. We will use fun props (like an apple) to practice the short phonetic sound of A. Then we will interact with animated PowerPoint slides to search for the letter A and CVC words/objects with the short phonetic sound. We may find the letter A hiding and then find dad, a cat, etc. We may also practice with nonsense CVC words. At the end of class, we will practice our short CVC words with a fun sentence. I like to have the learners excited to find the letters and words on the slides, and see how to build a short sentence. I hope you will join me in my search for CVC words. Let's have fun with A, E, I, O, and yoU.
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College
Hello! My name is Erin Howard. I love teaching young learners. My passion is to help your young learner gain the knowledge and confidence in their basic math skills. My math classes focus on skills such as solving word problems, learning math fact families, place value, telling time, geometry, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
I have my bachelor’s degree from Mount Holyoke College. I have owned a home daycare, privately tutored students in math, and was a teaching assistant in college. I have taught over 8,000 classes online.
My goal is to bring fun, excitement, and passion into my classroom. It is important for young learners to be engaged, actively participate, and enjoy learning. This builds the foundation of how they will view their journey for knowledge in the future. I know I have accomplished this goal when my students continue to return to my classroom, and I see their personal improvement and how proud they are of their progress.
Outside of work, I am a mother of five children, and I have three grandchildren. My children are my pride and joy. My youngest two children are twins. They are nineteen years old and they are sophomores in college. We enjoy cooking, baking, playing with our dog, watching movies, shopping, and taking trips to visit new places.
I look forward to this journey with you and your young learner. I will see you in the classroom.
