Does your student struggle with: * Decoding (sounding out words) * Spelling * Phonics (letter & sound combinations) * Blending (putting the sounds together) * Sound sequencing (saying the correct sound in the correct order) * "Getting the words off the page" The Lindamood Bell Seeing Stars program is an intensive program for students who are struggling with these reading skills. My "Level 3" class will focus on CCVCC (consonant-consonant- vowel - consonant-consonant) combinations. This will include skills such as: - Reading & spelling all types of single syllable words - Consonant blends & consonant combinations including: tch, dge, etc. - Spelling for all long & short vowel combinations such as: oa, ea, ai, oy, oi, ow, ou, aw, au. - When to double letters within words - Rules for adding -ed to the end of words - Manipulating the letters & sounds within the words in order to build a solid foundation for spelling **USE OF AUDIO AND VIDEO ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS**
Learning Goals
Students will learn the foundational skills of blending these combinations of letters, while exercising their "symbol imagery" (visual memory.) This class will meet twice weekly for one hour each class. I will help your child set a firm foundation to be able to build up to multi- syllable words that contain various blends of letters (CCVCC). For students who would like to continue to grow in their reading skills, follow up classes will be offered.
Each lesson will include a worksheet which will be uploaded for you to print. Follow up activities for you to do with your throughout the week will help your child practice the skills he/she learns in class. These activities will take less than 10 minutes each day.
