Class Experience

This interactive class will introduce students to 2-3 new sight words a week.  We will read stories with these sight words that your child can access at home to allow for additional practice.  We will also practice writing, reading, and making short vowel words.  During these lessons, your child will have an opportunity to read, write, and learn beginning reading strategies.  We will be using Raz-Plus for our books, which you will have access to at home.  I have over 20 years of experience teaching new and struggling readers. 
Students should be familiar with letters and letter sounds and show signs of an emergent reader (interest in books, writing, and reading).
Lesson 1: We will read "My Face," by Elizabeth Austin  We will spell and make short /a/ words. 
Lesson 2: We will read "The Big Cat," by Nora Voutas.  We will spell and make short /u/ words.
Lesson 3:  We will read "What Lives Here," by R.K. Burrice.  We will spell and make short /u/ words.

Please note:
*** These classes are 25 minutes, but sometimes run longer (30 minutes) if there are more students. 
*** Levels A-C are on an approximate Kindergarten level.  Levels D-J are approximately 1st-grade levels. 
*** If you are unsure of your child's approximate reading level, I have a "What Is My Reading Level?" course that I can set up for your child.  Please request a time using the link below:

My Professional Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from UNCW in 1996. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Early Childhood (ages 3-8), Elementary Education (ages 8-12), and as a Reading Specialist. I also hold an NBCT (National Board Certified Teacher) license and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and have been teaching online since 2020.

My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe meeting a student where they are is essential to helping them learn successfully. I offer a differentiated approach to allow all learners an opportunity to participate.  I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. I want all children to love reading and learning in general. I am passionate about children gaining confidence in their abilities and feeling successful.  

Fun Facts:
