In this on going course, learners will review phonemic awareness skills and phonics with letter sounds and letters. It is appropriate for learners who are ready for preschool/kindergarten as well as ESL learners. Let's Get Reading With Mrs. Rose: Focus on Reviewing Letter Sounds, students will REVIEW the sounds and letters of the alphabet with an emphasis on the sounds the letter symbol makes. In order to read, the importance is the sound of the letter, not the naming of the letter. Each lesson we will review the letter sounds. By modeling on my screen, students will practice building words and reading. A worksheet is provided for the student to support writing the words we build. Students will be exposed to oral language practice for phonemic awareness (recognition and play with sounds), fine motor skills to increase writing ability, and beginning phonics skills to read short vowel words. *** Students who successfully complete this class, can move onto Reading Word Families and Sight Words (which places more focus on reading word families, phrases, and word writing.)*** ***In order for me to assist your child while reading, I do require cameras to be turned on during class. I need to be able to see their mouths and how they are forming the sounds in words.*** Week 1: August 25th Review sounds associated with letter symbols: m, a, t, d Writing the letters Listening for beginning sounds of words Teacher Modeling segment of sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Week 2: Sept. 2nd Review sounds associated with letter symbols: s, o, c, k, x Writing the letters Listening for beginning sounds of words Teacher Modeling segment of sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Teacher Modeling of building words and blending sounds with the sounds taught Week 3: Sept. 16th Review sounds associated with letter symbols: n, I, g, h Writing the letters Listening for ending sounds of words Students begin to segment sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Students begin to blend sounds to read words Week 4: Sept. 23rd Review sounds associated with letter symbols: f, b, v, e Writing the letters Listening for ending sounds of words Students continue to segment sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Students continue to blend sounds to read words Week 5: Sept. 30th Review sounds associated with letter symbols: p, z, w, j, y Writing the letters Listening for middle sound in words Students continue to segment sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Students continue to blend sounds to read words Week 6: Oct. 7th Review sounds associated with letter symbols: u, r, q, i Writing the letters Listening for middle sound in words Students continue to segment sounds c-a-t, blends for cat Students continue to blend sounds to read words Week 7: Oct. 14th Review Week of all sounds Review beginning, middle, and ending sounds Review letter writing
