If your child has a strong grasp of short vowel words, and is growing in their reading abilities, then this will be a great fit to build skills and confidence on their reading journey.  *This class is also a great supplement or reinforcement for preschool, Kindergarten or early Elementary reading skills.*
Each class includes:
*A song to introduce the week’s word family
*Many colorful slides to keep the class engaged as we practice reading
*Multiple turns for each student and whole-class participation
*A brief "story", with pictures, they may listen to and read to search for words from our family 
*Time to build, blend, and read words from the family 
*"Brain Break" time may be added, as needed, for a bit of movement and enhanced focus
*A chance to practice writing and filling-in letters to make our words (Optional worksheets are provided, or they may “air write”, write on 
 a whiteboard or on their own paper.) We will also reinforce the concepts of how to create the blends, digraphs or "r" controlled families in our words
*Games to help students discriminate between words both in and out of our family and games of sorting the correct examples from incorrect
*Optional time to "share or tell" one thing after each class, for some community-building fun.
