6 live meetings
3 in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. Once a week homework is optional, but strongly recommended for those that want their child to have more practice of the week's concepts and will include letter activities and other basic prereading and beginning reading concepts such as: letter tiles, rhyming activities, first sound fluency, or letter tracing.Assessment
On the sixth class, we will have a review day where students will work on review activities in a Zoom breakout room, while I assess students' mastery of the material for the class one on one. I will then write up a progress report within 48 hours of that class. Your child must be present for week six in order to receive the progress report. The progress report will include your child's mastery of the unit's material as well as suggested next steps for your student.Letter Grade
A letter grade will be provided at the end of the class if all six units have been completed.Progress Report
See above assessment section.Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Beginner - Advanced Level
What will be taught/topics covered? This is the 1st of six, six-week classes. In this six-week class, learners will be introduced to all letter names and sounds as well as how to write the uppercase and lowercase letters. They will also work on the prereading skills of first sound fluency, alliteration, rhyme repetition and identification. How is my class structured? This class is structured for homeschool families that want some support teaching their child how to read. It would also be a great extra practice for those in public, private or charter schools. How will I teach/what's my teaching style? My teaching style is direct instruction. This means I will introduce the activity and model it before having the learners perform the activity on their own. How much will learners get to interact with me? The class is structured for active participation through small class size (max 6 learners), games, call and response, discussions, show and tell and slideshow presentations.
