Class Experience

Does your child show an interest in reading? Do they know all, or a lot of their letter sounds? If so, you have found the next step in learning to read; CVC word families! I have such a passion for teaching young learners how to read, and also getting them very excited to do so! If a child has fun learning to read, they are more likely to enjoy reading itself! 

In this class, we learn a new word family each week through fun and interactive activities! I will use many different approaches to my teaching, which include reading short stories, sounding out the letters and blending them together to make words, writing the letters to be blended, using manipulatives, and so much more!

This is an ongoing class that does not build upon the one before, so your child can come in at any point. Once we reach the end of the word families listed, I will start with the next middle sound word family group. You can also come in during a specific word family if your child already knows some of them.

Word Families By Week:

Week of October 9th - AT family
Week of October 16th - AN family
Week of October 23rd - AD family
Week of October 30th - AM family 
Week of November 6th - AP family

Following the A middle sound will come E, I, O, and then U!

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! My name is Ms.Heather! I am married to Kenny, and we have a beautiful four year old boy, Alyas! My family and I are full-time living in a travel trailer, traveling the country! I was a Pre-K and Kindergarten teacher for 5+ years, have taught ESL online for 4 years to children ages 3-16 in China, and was the Director of a Developmental Day School for 3 years! I have a B.A. in Psychology with a Minor in Child Development from Ashford University. I absolutely love children and I have a passion for helping them learn! I believe every child is unique, and I make sure to keep this in mind during my teaching! I like to see each child's personality come out through the activity/craft, and not have everything look just like the other student's work. When working on my lessons, I think outside the box in order to make it fun and engaging for all of the students! Children tend to want to learn when they are having fun doing it. I love a challenge and I truly enjoy seeing a child overcome something they work so hard at! I am a very patient teacher and I enjoy having fun with the children while we learn! I was very shy before I started my teaching career, and what helped me break out of my shell was being silly, so I enjoy doing this with my class too! When planning my lessons, I make sure to give myself enough time to get through the whole lesson, but I also allow for flexibility, as lesson plans will not always go as planned. Children like to talk and I see nothing wrong with this, as we can learn just as much talking as we can with me teaching from the lesson itself! I like to have interactive classes, where all children are involved and enjoying themselves! If your child is shy and does not want to talk, that is okay too!
