Please join me for a magical adventure. In this one-time class, students will explore and practice early literacy concepts Mermaid style. This class is engaging and interactive. Students are more than welcome to come dressed up as a Mermaid. 

This class is great for any Pre-K or Kindergarten learner. Students should have a solid foundation of letter names and most sounds. 

 Students will practice stretching out CVC word sounds orally, identifying beginning sounds/letters, identifying and producing rhyming words, and reading CVC words. 

Slashing Sounds
Students will pretend to jump out of the water and make a splash for each sound in a given word. 

Mystery Word Sand Writing
Students can bring a shallow tray of sand (sugar, salt, powdered Jell-O, etc.) to class to make writing words more fun! Students can also just use a dry erase board/marker or paper/pencil if you prefer. Using a PowerPoint, students will be shown 3 pictures. Together, we will identify each of the beginning sounds, write the letters with our finger in the sand, and solve the mystery by sounding out and reading the CVC word.

Mermaid Rhyme Time
Students will be presented with different pictures. Together, we will figure out what words rhyme with the given picture. Students will record the answer by coloring on the provided handout. 

Find the Mermaid
Students will take turns reading CVC words to find the hidden Mermaid. 

I cannot wait to practice these important early literacy skills that will help build the foundation to your child's success in reading!
