Learn to Read Through Word Families! (Session 1)

This is the first session of my Word Family class. In this ongoing class, learners will be introduced to 2 new word families each week. This section will last for 10 weeks. 

Each class will follow the same predictable pattern.
  1. Introduction of new word families.
  2. Practice pronunciation and spelling.
  3. Practice writing.
  4. Practice reading activities.
  5. Check for understanding through games and participation.

Not only will students improve reading and writing skills, but they will have the opportunity to communicate with a small group of learners. This will increase speaking and reading confidence.

All of this will be achieved in a welcoming, fun and lively class environment!  As an educator for over 20 years, I pride myself in my ability to be patient with the beginning reader. After teaching hundreds of children to read, I find that patience and a nurturing environment are two of the biggest contributing factors to success. 

Feel free to jump in the session at any time. If you need to skip a week, no worries! I hope to see your child in class soon!
