Learn to Read Word Families: Construction Themed

In this ongoing weekly class, truck-loving friends will learn a new word family each week. We will listen to, and blend the letter sounds in the words. We will also learn to identify word patterns (word families) and use those word patterns to help them read new words.  

 This class will nurture and develop the foundational reading skills students need to decode simple words and learn early sight words. 

This class is for learners who have a good understanding on their letter sounds, and is a great follow up class for students who have completed the Construction Truck Alphabet Club Class. 

Every week we will explore a new word family and create simple words with the same pattern. We will also spend time talking about construction and truck words which also have the same pattern; such as dig, tap and (hard) hat. 

We will dive into the world of word families, explore the letter sounds and blend and construct the words together!  We will look carefully at a word,  break down the letter sounds (segment), and construct simple words with the letter sounds that we know. 

This class is a place for learners to explore new words and feel success as they build their reading skills.  Every week we will receive a mini book with the word family to read with our families after class. 

Bring your construction trucks, hard hats, and tools to class, and let's learn how to construct new words together!

I will also support the students as they use their important social and communication skills as they share their thoughts about the vehicles and practice their letter sounds throughout the lesson. Students will be encouraged and supported as they participate in class. If you feel that your child may be shy or anxious about participating in class please feel free to contact me in advance and let me know.
