Learners will complete various literacy activities including identifying letters, practicing letter sounds, blending sounds, identifying beginning letter sounds, and using sight words in sentences. Students will engage in various movements to practice letter sounds. Please feel free to pause the lesson at any time to further work on skills or take a break. There is an optional activity for learners to work on while watching the class recording. Students can use the letters provided to make words during the class. Adult assistance is needed to print and cut out the letters. My teaching style is that of a constructivist. I believe that children learn best through learning in an interactive manner. Students will be able to move, count, and chant during the lesson and act upon their learning.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of letter sounds, word families, and sight words. Students will learn reading strategies to help them read with more independence.

Welcome everyone! I'm Miss Sarah, and I am so happy you are here! Let's learn together!
I have been a preschool teacher for five years, and I have five additional years of classroom experience as a substitute teacher and teacher's aide. I earned my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Early Childhood Education from the University of Cincinnati. I have also taught English to children online for two years. I have been teaching on Outschool since 2020. I was awarded Teacher of the Year for my district in 2017, as well as Support Staff Member of the Year in 2015.
I consider myself to be a constructivist, so I believe that children learn best when acting upon their learning. When children engage in natural play, song, and movements, they connect with the content. When children enjoy educational activities, they are more interested and focused, which helps to better their progress in learning.
I love helping students learn how to read. I have fun, interactive classes that focus on letters, letter sounds, and reading strategies that help young learners gain confidence in reading while learning new skills. Students love going on reading adventures with our friend, Telly the Turtle, who is learning to read along with them. I am currently at university for a reading certificate in post graduate studies to further my own knowledge to best help students with reading mastery.
I am very passionate about animals and nature. I am a wildlife rehabilitator and currently volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center. I also volunteer at a local humane society assisting animals. These experiences make me uniquely qualified to teach about animals.
I love teaching all content areas. This includes math, art, science, music, social studies, and literacy. Classes that I teach are fun, interactive, engaging, and hands-on. We sing, have lively discussions, make crafts and projects, and dance! I hope to see you in class soon! -Miss SarahReviews
