Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
In this 15 week course, young learners will be able to learn phonics, practice reading fluency, blend letters, form words, learn vocabulary and practice comprehension skills. I make the Starfall books come alive with animations and sound effects. We will review the phonics lesson for that class, make words by blending the sounds and playing interactive phonics games, learn some vocabulary and read the short story together, There are worksheets that go with each lesson. The student can do as many of the worksheets as they would like. Each lesson also has a fun coloring, cut-up book of the story we read in class. I will send class handouts with each lesson. There are also reading certificates that the learner receives. These are available to you at time of purchase under materials for class. I will be happy to send these to you if you have trouble finding them. I can't wait to see your little learner progress from a little star to a SUPER star!!! π€©

Hello! My name is Kandy Bickart and I live in North Carolina, USA. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology, an Associate Degree in Biological Science and a TESOL certificate.
I've always had a passion for teaching. I have over 15 years teaching experience both in the classroom and online. I taught in the elementary school level and then became an instructor at my local Community College in the GED and ESL program. I have also enjoyed teaching ESL online to children for the past six years.
BOB CLASSES - I have designed courses for both preschool, elementary ages and ESL students. My courses have unique content with entertaining and informative slideshow. I have included a fun puppet friend named Bob throughout the slideshows, which allows the students to be truly engaged while learning.
READING/WRITING CLASSES - I also have an ongoing reading and writing course with the Wonders Curriculum. I have tried to make it more fun and engaging by presenting it in a slideshow with videos, animations and sound effects. Learning to read and write has never been so much fun!
PHONICS - I have recently added a phonics ongoing course using the Star Curriculum, which uses a fun, interactive and animated slideshow.
SPEAKING CLASSES - I use an effective concept created by Cambridge University that presents a colorful picture with a lot of action going on. This gives a shy student or a student that loves to talk the opportunity to tell me all what they see. I have added some fun activities to keep the student engaged.
READING CLASSES - There are two separate reading course, beginner first grade and mid-year second grade. I have animated the short stories which makes them even more engaging. We learn phonics, reading comprehension and more.
I believe that children learn best in a relaxed but structured environment that encourages them to express themselves. I also feel that children should have fun while they are learning! So FUN is always part of my lesson plan!
I am looking forward to meeting and teaching your little learner.
