**The main difference between this class and my Kinder/1st Grade sight words class is that this class focuses on 5 words per week instead of 10 words** This class is designed to help early readers build early reading skills by learning sight words. Consistent practice will make these words automatic, allowing them to read more fluently. This routine will give students regular opportunities to practice memorizing sight words. In this ongoing class, students will follow a basic routine that will maximize exposure to 5 sight words each week. Each class will be packed with fast-paced games that give opportunity for constant participation, and team work among students. Sight words follow the list Fry's First 100 Words. Each week will be a bit different, but will follow the same basic routine and cover the same concepts.
Learning Goals
Each week students will focus on 5 sight words. Students will be able to read these words in isolation, and will have opportunity to read them in the context of simple sentences.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
I will sometimes play a game with the students using a PowerPoint presentation. These games will involve much movement, so make sure the students have space to stand, jump, and even run in place. If not properly supervised, my biggest worry is that students will try to stand on a chair and try these movements. I will always make a disclaimer before the activity "You may stand if you'd like to, but make sure you stand on the floor and not on a chair."
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

B.A. in Family and Child Development. I am a firm believer that play is the work of the child, so my goal is to make this class fun! 6 years experience working in early childhood education with students ages 3-5. I have taught this very thing to dozens of children throughout the years, and even to my own children who are homeschooled.
