Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - Pre-Kindergarten
Are you looking for a fun class to help your child become excited about reading?  This class will help build confidence in readers who are learning to put sounds together as we learn some of the basic foundations of learning to read in engaging ways!  

Sight words are words that students can learn to recognize and not need to spend time decoding, or sounding out every single letter while reading.  When students have a list of sight words they can read, it helps them to be more fluent and confident readers (so they don't have to sound out EVERY single word that they are reading)!  This is a very important step in learning how to read independently.  In this course, students will be engaged in many multisensory, hands-on activities to help them learn 44 of the Dolch sight words.  Students will learn 2-3 words each lesson that follow a sound pattern that will be taught during class.  
Through repetition, students will be writing, reading, spelling, and playing games to help them learn their sight words in a snap! Whether they are brand new to sight words or just need a little review, this class will cover 44 Dolch sight words. We will also practice reading/blending CVC words, learning some blends/digraphs, spelling and writing sight words, counting how many words are in a sentence, important parts of a sentence, discussing punctuation marks, and more!  Each class I will show kids a game or activity that they can use at home to continue to practice their sight words. This will be a fun and inclusive class so I hope your learner will join us! Feel free to join us at anytime! :) 

**Please note that this class is for learners who are able to mostly identify/write their letters.  We will work on blending sounds together in class so if your learner isn't confident on this, there will be practice during class! If your child still needs a little help with writing letters, parent support off-camera is appreciated.  Please let me know if you have questions about whether this class may be a good fit for your child.  If your child is not secure in letter names and sounds, I do have a class on learning letters and sounds that is multisensory as well!  I also have a class to help children learn how to blend CVC words together if your child isn't sure of how to put 3 letter sounds together (examples: cat, big, run). If your child knows most of the sight words on this list, I also have Learning to Read Class 2 which works on more reading/phonics skills.  Please message me with any questions! :)**

Here are the list of words we will be working on:

Supply List
-handouts each week will be sent to enrolled students to print and bring to class (let me know if there are problems with printing before class-I also show the handouts during class in case you can’t print before class)


**Each week, I will send the list of optional supplies/materials that would be used for our activities and games that week. Each class I show students an activity or game to play at home to practice words. If you don’t have the materials, you’re welcome to practice words any way you’d like. These materials are NOT necessary to attend class! 

Here are some of the supplies that I show to use for optional practice at home:
-playdough (any color)
-toothpick or wooden skewer or pencil
-crayons/markers
-pencil 
-plastic container with the bottom covered in salt or pepper or glitter 
-Cheerio's, coins, or something to mark off bingo boards with (anything small that will fit on a Bingo board for the classes we play Bingo)
-paper
-scissors
-paper clip
-chalk (If you don't have chalk, it's fine! Students will be shown different ways to practice sight words.)
