***Use code BYRDCDISCOUNT20 to try this class for free!*** **This class is taught by one of our highly skilled and experienced Little Learners Big League educators.** In this ongoing beginning reading class, we will see and hear a short story from which students will identify words in our word family. Then we will practice saying sounds together, sounding out words on my screen with the help of picture clues, and playing games to look for pictures and determine which pictures belong in our word family and which ones do not! We will also write missing sounds together to make words on our printout. But do not worry if you are unable to get this worksheet printed out, you can do this activity with us on any sheet of paper (or even write the letters in the air). This class is ideal for learners who are not yet reading but are showing interest and those students who have learned some sounds and possibly some beginning reading skills but need to continue to build a strong foundation for reading. Because this is an ongoing class, students may jump in at any point and they will not be behind! This class is on an 18-week content cycle, meaning that from the point your child jumps in, they will get 18 weeks of new content and then I will start the content cycle again. Many of my parents let their learners repeat the cycle if more practice is needed to strengthen their reading foundation. Similarly, some parents choose to enroll their child in more than one section per week so their child can learn more than one word family per week-this all depends on your child's learning level and needs. For most learners, one word family per week is just right. I always try to accommodate transfer requests, but my classes are not on the same lesson each week so please be aware if you request a transfer into another section, that section will most likely not be on the same schedule and there is a chance your child will repeat a lesson. If you would like this class as a FLEXible schedule option, use this link: https://outschool.com/classes/lets-learn-to-read-blend-and-read-cvc-words-in-word-families-flex-naCkNRxG?usid=Khh0xOrD&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link *I have written and/or created and own the copyrights to all materials including printables, game sheets, stories, and slide shows used in all of my classes. This class is great for ESL learners as well! NOTE: Not all sections are on the same schedule, so this schedule may be slightly different depending on which section your learner joins. Your learner can jump in at any time and will have 18 weeks of new content no matter when they join. However, transferring your student to a different section COULD cause your learner to repeat content as, again, not all sections are on the same lesson. At this age and stage of learning to read, repetition is very important so this has never been an issue:) Week of January 30th: at words Week of February 6th: op words Week of February 13th: ap words Week of February 20th: un words Week of February 27th: et words Week of March 6th: og words Week of March 13th: am words Week of March 20th: ig words Week of March 27th: ed words Week of April 3rd: en words Week of April 10th: an words Week of April 17th: ad words Week of April 24th: it words Week of May 1st: ut words Week of May 8th: id words Week of May 15th:um words Week of May 22nd: ag words AFTER the week of May 22nd, the content repeats the above cycle! ______________________________ beginning reading, kindergarten, preschool, first grade, second grade, phonics, CVC, CVCe, blending, reading, writing, fluency
Learning Goals
Students will learn to blend and read consonant-vowel-consonant words.
Other Details
Supply List

Hello! I am so happy to tell you a little about Little Learners Big League! This organization comprises teachers who bring decades of experience, education, and genuine care to your learners. We are certified teachers and reading specialists who greatly enjoy teaching our courses that are fun for the students, packed with value, and super engaging! We are kind and encouraging teachers who love celebrating the successes of every learner-big or small! Let's meet the teachers, and then you can keep reading to learn about all the classes we teach and the order in which we recommend them!
MEET THE TEACHERS:
Ms. Mary Ann says, "Hello! I am a certified teacher and the owner of this organization, Little Learners Big League. I come to you with over 20 years of experience as a public school, private school, homeschool, and online teacher! I also spent a decade traveling the U.S. as an educational consultant training teachers in beginning reading skills and classroom management. My husband of 20 years and I have a college-age daughter and a son in elementary school, along with two dogs and a cat. In my spare time, I love to go on long walks while listening to audiobooks and spend time with my husband and children. Outschool has been one of my biggest blessings and I am so grateful for this platform!"
Ms. Amanda says, "Hello! I am Ms. Amanda. I have been a certified teacher for 15 years. I started teaching as a lead preschool teacher, and then worked four years as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in my local school district. Once I became a mom, I transitioned into teaching online and have been doing so for the last nine years. I have taught over 5,000 learners online from all over the world! Additionally, I have been homeschooling my son for the last four years! I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood, and a Master’s Degree in Classroom Technology, along with numerous certificates. In my free time, I enjoy swimming and spending time with my son and husband. I also love animals and have two dogs and three guinea pigs. Teaching has allowed me to share my upbeat personality and love of learning with so many learners, and I’m very grateful to continue doing this with Little Learners Big League!"
Ms. Meredith says, "Hello! I'm Meredith Armistead and I am super excited to be teaching your child. I hold a bachelor's degree, as well as a Georgia teaching certificate. I have 19 years of teaching experience in grades Pre-K- 5th, spending most of my time in a public-school Pre-K setting. I also tutor K-5 Math and English Language Arts and have spent the last 5 years teaching English online to children all over the world. I believe every child deserves a good start academically and socially and I strive to make my classroom interactive and fun for all the kiddos. When I'm not teaching, I love to spend time with my husband camping and boating at the lake! I am a marathon runner (13 and counting), and I love to travel the world and visit new and exciting places! I look forward to shaping those little minds with a love of learning. Let's have fun learning! See you in class!"
Ms. Lisa says, "Hi! I'm Lisa VanderKloet. I am a certified teacher with over 20 years of experience. I have been an educational assistant as well as a classroom teacher. Most recently I have been a homeschooling mom and an online teacher. I love teaching young children and helping foster a love of reading and writing. I have a university age daughter and a teen who is still homeschooling with me. We enjoy spending time with our two dogs and two cats as well as playing lots of games. I love teaching on Outschool and watching students succeed."
Ms. Anna says, "Hello! I'm Anna Kravanh. I’ve been an educator for over 20 years, with experience as a reading tutor, homeschool teacher, and homeschool mom of four. I have my Associate Degree in Early Education. Since 2020, I’ve been teaching at Outschool, and I love the opportunity it gives me to work with students in a way that truly meets their individual needs. I’m passionate about fostering a love of learning and building confidence in every child. Whether I’m helping a student improve their reading skills or guiding my own kids through homeschooling, my goal is always to create a positive, supportive learning environment. I’m currently working toward my Bachelor’s in Education, which I’ll finish in the summer of 2025. Outside of teaching, I love traveling, spending time at the beach, and, of course, being with my family. Teaching is more than just a career for me – it’s a passion. I’m excited to continue working with students on Outschool and sharing my love for learning with my students!"
Ms. Hutton says, "Hi! My name is Ms. Hutton. I hold a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, providing a strong foundation in both content knowledge and effective teaching strategies. With six years of experience teaching 2nd through 4th-grade students, I have developed a deep understanding of the developmental stages and learning needs of younger learners. Additionally, I have worked with special education students, tailoring lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and abilities. My experience in both in-person and virtual tutoring has further enhanced my ability to support students in various learning environments, ensuring all students can succeed!"
We recommend taking our classes in the following order starting with the first class (Feel free to copy and paste or scroll down past this profile to go directly to the class links). For those learners who do not need a full PreK experience, we recommend starting with class 2.
1. Pre-K & Kinder: Complete Curriculum & Circle Time (Meets 4 Times per Week). This is an ongoing, YEAR-ROUND course where we will cover all standards for PreK and most Kinder standards as well. Your learner can jump in at any time and not be behind.

2. Let's Learn to Read (Beginners): Blending and Reading CVC Words in Word Families (eighteen-week content rotation cycle) This course is also available as a FLEXible 10-week course option for those that would like to take this class but can't find the class time you need.

6. Reading Fluency Practice: Increasing Fluency with Fun Timed Challenges Using First and Second-Grade Fiction and Nonfiction Passages: This class can be taken in conjunction with Sight Words Made Easy if your child has a good foundation of CVC and CVCe words.

7. Book Club For Beginners: Gaining Confidence in Fluency & Comprehension: Level 1
In this ongoing class, we will meet twice per week to read aloud, have discussions, play games, and complete extension activities to increase learners' reading confidence.
https://bit.ly/3C5E5ke
8. 2nd Grade Reading Comprehension: This class is for students in first grade who are strong readers, students on second-grade reading level, or students in third grade who may need a little extra help. This class focuses heavily on comprehension, so if your child needs fluency practice, see my previous three classes on this list! This is an ongoing class that meets once per week covering the five big comprehension skills (direct recall, inferences/predictions, unfamiliar vocabulary using context clues, main idea and details, and sequencing) using second-grade fiction and nonfiction passages.

9. Reading Fluency: Fun Timed Reading Challenges With 3rd Grade Passages. This class is ideal for students who are reading at a higher 2nd-grade level or a lower 3rd-grade level, or those who have taken my first fluency class using first and second-grade passages.
