Level 3 focuses on leveraging word families to empower students in their reading journey. Word families, also known as phonograms, consist of words sharing a predictable pattern, typically rhyming and ending similarly. For example, the CVC word family ‘-at’ includes words like cat, bat, hat, rat, sat, and mat. This approach is particularly beneficial for emergent readers as it boosts confidence by providing decoding and spelling strategies. The aim is for students to read and spell a group of words independently each week, fostering a sense of accomplishment and confidence. This newfound confidence translates into their ability to recognize and sound out words in the books they encounter independently. The class structure begins with a welcoming "hello" song, followed by the introduction of the Word Family for the week. The session involves reviewing words, playing Eye-Spy (with a spelling twist), engaging in a scavenger hunt, and reading a book all centered around the designated Word Family. The class concludes with a farewell, waving, and a Good-Bye song. To enhance the learning experience at home, I will provide learning sheets corresponding to the weekly Word Family. Word families serve as a foundation for tackling more complex words in reading and writing. In the often perplexing landscape of English language patterns and rules, word families offer a consistent and approachable structure. Importantly, there is no specific order for learning word families in this ongoing class, providing flexibility for students to join at any time and participate for as long as needed. The schedule below will be regularly updated as required. Word Family WEEKLY Schedule: Week of: December 4, 2023 - "an" December 11, 2023 - "at" December 18, 2023 - "en" January 1, 2024 - "ap" January 8, 2024 - "ig" January 15, 2024 - "ad" January 22, 2024 - "in" January 29, 2024 - "ot" February 5, 2024 - "ug" February 12, 2024 - "am" February 19, 2024 - "op" February 26, 2024 - "ub" March 4, 2024 - "ab" March 11, 2024 - "ed" March 18, 2024 - "ip" March 25, 2024 - "un" April 1, 2024 - ** VACATION ** April 8, 2024 - "it" April 15, 2024 - "og" April 22, 2024 - "ut" April 29, 2024 - "et" The list will start to repeat....

Teacher expertise and credentials
👋🏼 Hello! I'm Carrie Wright, also known as Ms. Carrie.
I possess a deep passion for Early Childhood Education (ECE), dedicating over 17 years to working and studying in this field. ECE encompasses the education of children from birth to eight years old.
My Top Five Teacher Qualities:
1️⃣ Patient
2️⃣ Reliable
3️⃣ Energized
4️⃣ Organized
5️⃣ Creative
ECE is a critical phase in child development, and research indicates that children engaged in ECE programs tend to perform better academically. Beyond academic achievements, one of the most significant advantages of early childhood education is instilling a love for learning. These formative experiences inspire children to seek knowledge and cultivate a lifelong passion for learning.
An integral aspect of teaching involves understanding both the student and their family. Feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas that can aid in your child's educational journey.
I am genuinely thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the growth of your student.
Looking forward to connecting soon,
Ms. Carrie
