In this fun beginner's reading class, students will be introduced to word families and learn to read by sounding out words—all while having fun! Through engaging, interactive slides, games, and activities, your child will build essential reading skills and gain confidence as they progress. We will focus on one-syllable, three-letter (CVC) words and enhance their learning experience with fun, decodable readers and worksheets.

Why are we learning about word families?
Word families are groups of words that share the same ending sounds, like -at (cat, bat, hat) or -ed (bed, fed, red). Recognizing these patterns helps students decode and read words more easily, building confidence and fluency. Throughout the course, students will master over 170 CVC words!
