Let's Learn to Decode Words!

What will be taught? In this class, I will be teaching the student strategies to help him/her decode words and read the words  in sentences. We will also do activities where we manipulate letter sounds in words, activities with rhyming words, and other reading activities. 
What topics will you cover? In this class, we will go over how to decode words as a way to learn how to read. To help with this decoding, the student will be taught the 5 phonetic skills that are listed at the bottom of the class description.  The student will also learn how to mark letters in words to help them remember how to sound out the letters. For example, the student will learn how to mark the vowels in a word with an "x" under the vowel, how to mark the guardian consonant in a CVC word with an asterick  (*) above the guardian consonant, and how to mark the short vowel sound above the vowel that has the guardian consonant next to it. 
How is my class structured? My class is structured in a way to help the student be interactive and engaged. We will both be using a white board to decode/ mark the letters in words to help the student have a visual of how to sound out words. After marking the word and reading it, we will practice using the word in a sentence. We will have interactive games to help the learner stay focused and engaged. 
What's my teaching style? My teaching style is doing lots of hands-on activities that help the student be involved in the class. As a visual, I will use Google Slides that I have made to present games that I have made, as well as present videos that help reinforce what we are doing in class. I will also be using a small white board (and the Zoom white board at times) to show the student how to mark letters in words to give the student strategies that will help him/her figure out words easier. 
How much will the learners be interacting with each other? This will be a one-on-one class. The teacher will be interacting with the learner.
Is there any required experience or knowledge that the learner needs to have? Yes, the student should know all the letters and sounds for this class. 
Here are the phonetic skills that we will be working on.
Phonetic Skill # 1: When one consonant and nothing more follows the vowel, the vowel will be short. (Example: cat, hop)
Phonetic Skill # 2: When the vowel is followed by two consonants and nothing more, the vowel will be short. (Example: last, jump)
Phonetic Skill # 3: When a vowel stands alone, no consonants following it, that vowel will be long. (Example: go, I, she)
Phonetic Skill # 4: When a word ends with a silent "e", the first vowel will be long.(Example: bake, hope)
Phonetic Skill # 5: When two vowels are adjacent, the second vowel is silent, and the first vowel is long. (Example: wait, boat)
