1 hour per week. Following each class, the teacher will provide each child with a selection of 10-20 words for reading practice. The objective isn't mere memorization; rather, it's to reinforce the skill of blending phonetic letter sounds and to initiate the journey of reading. It's important not to impose practice on your child. Cultivating a positive and nurturing learning atmosphere is paramount in fostering a genuine enthusiasm for reading and learning! Should you have any queries or seek advice on motivating your child to engage in reading practice, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're committed to supporting you every step of the way!Class Experience

Beginner Level
Embark on a dynamic 4-day journey tailored to fortify children's grasp of phonetic letter blending. Our comprehensive course meticulously blends review sessions with engaging activities, ensuring a seamless transition into the world of phonetic word formation. Day one sets the stage with a thorough review of essential letter sounds, laying a solid foundation for subsequent learning. Following this invigorating recap, participants dive into the excitement of sounding out and matching three-letter phonetic words with corresponding images. Harnessing the power of visual aids, our approach keeps young minds captivated and fosters a palpable enthusiasm when they successfully connect words to their visual representations. Undeniably, everything becomes more vibrant and enjoyable with the addition of stimulating visuals! Prerequisite Knowledge: Children are expected to confidently articulate the phonetic sounds of at least 20 out of the 26 letters. Mastery should be evident as they effortlessly respond to prompts such as, "What sound does this letter make?" or "Identify the sound associated with this letter." Support should not be required during this assessment. Should your child fall short of the expected proficiency level, we encourage you to reach out for guidance on suitability or consider further practice before enrolling in this session. Alternatively, our foundational class focusing on individual phonetic letter sounds provides an ideal preparatory step. Upon completion of that program, participants will be well-equipped to thrive in this advanced course. Please note: All transfers to another time must be done at least 24 hours before. Please ensure that the class time(s) works with your schedule.
Learning Goals
Children will engage in a comprehensive review of phonetic letter sounds, honing their ability to seamlessly blend them together. This foundational skill serves as a springboard for the exploration of short phonetic words, marking the initial steps towards proficient reading.
