In this ongoing weekly preschool and early literacy course, students will use an engaging multi-sensory approach and a variety of strategies as they master the the alphabet. While focusing on beginning reading skills and phonemic awareness, students will practice reading and writing their ABCs. Phonemic awareness training is an essential and foundational part of the reading process that provides students with skills and strategies that support their decoding and reading. To facilitate your students' literacy development, we will use the Learning Dynamics Reading System. Learning Dynamics is a nationally recognized and research based program that helps students develop language and comprehension skills. Students will have explicit instruction on blending sounds together using CVC words. As we focus on one letter each week, students gain an understanding of how individual letter sounds, phonemes, fit together to create words. Sight words will be introduced to support students’ fluency and confidence in reading. To build phonemic awareness, an essential and foundational skill in early literacy, students will spend time each class focusing on phonemes in words and identifying how words are similar and different. You can expect to see your student using songs, stories, manipulatives, rhymes, games and movement actives as a they master each letter of the alphabet. We will integrate other early childhood learning objectives throughout the course including number sense, counting, shapes, colors, patterns, vocabulary, and weekly crafts as they relate to our letter study. Your student’s learning will be enhanced through theme dress up days, movement, music, songs, and activities. I look forward to meeting you and your student as they work on become readers from the comfort of your own home!

Supply List
With permission from Learning Dynamics, we will be implementing the 4 Weeks to Read Curriculum during our class. I encourage you to purchase the Learning Dynamics Curriculum found at Amazon! This box set includes an activity book, 53 colored books to encourage your student's reading development and build fluency, flashcards and much more. If purchasing the boxed set is not something you wish to pursue, you could consider buying components of the set that you feel are most helpful. Although this set of books and materials is definitely a great resource to use as your student learns their letters and to read, it is not required to be able to participate!
