Class experience
US Grade 1 - 4
In this ongoing, weekly class, the students will look at the sound structure of letters and how they can change when interacting with other letters (examples, ie, ea, sh, ph). We delve deep into the working of vowels; vowels are such special letters, they are needed and valued in almost every word we know and use and they can change their sounds many different ways (sometimes making these the trickiest letters to grasp). Classes will begin with explicit teaching of the sound / word rules. ...
Students will learn the rules of spelling in English and gain confidence and comfort in their own spelling.
I have worked as a classroom teacher and a learning support teachers for 16+ years and I have developed a fun and creative way to engage a wide variety of learners and learning styles. During my time teaching learning support, I have worked with small groups (4-8 children) to help develop and strengthen their spelling knowledge through slow and deliberate teaching of rules. I use a variety of techniques and fun applications of letter / sound / word rules to keep the learners engaged. I am aware some children take more time to learn each spelling rule and that is why I will offer some fun activities the children can do at home when the class is finished.
Homework Offered
Homework will not be assigned but students may choose to continue the word lessons through the week using the games and activities I give them in the weekly lessons.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There will not be assessments for this course. Learning will be evaluated over time through the lessons.Grades Offered
Students are encouraged to have a notebook, pencil and eraser for the classes to record the spelling rules and lists of spelling words. Sometimes, small cards (could be index cards or handmade cut out cards), sized 6x4 are helpful for writing the words on. Movement is encouraged and a space where the student can work and move would be ideal.
