This class is designed to prepare new first graders for first-grade reading. It can also be a great review class for past first graders who need some extra practice, all while having fun! In this class, we will read introductory first-grade level books. In these books, we will practice sight words, practice grade-level appropriate phonics skills, and practice fluent and accurate reading of text. After reading each daily book, we will practice our phonics skills through a fun game. The breakdown of Reading Camp is as follows: Each day will be as follows: Letter Recognition Sight Words Phonics Skill Reading Time Game Time By the end of each camp, learners will have reviewed/learned several sight words, practiced and used phonics skills in reading, been introduced to first-grade level reading books, and enjoyed a fun few weeks of reading camp with others!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome! Greater Gains Tutoring was started by Julie Chamberlin when she embarked on her Outschool journey as a teacher about 2 years ago.

I am also working on my Masters degree in Curriculum Instruction with a Reading Endorsement. In addition to Outschool, I currently tutor all ages and subjects in my spare time.

As a homeschooling mama of four, I am able to combine my passion of being with my children and teaching together so it's a win win for everyone! When I have free time, you can find me reading a book, listening to music, or playing the piano. As a family we also like watch sports, play games, and take walks together. Life is an adventure, and I love learning and exploring something new each day. I hope I can help instill that love of learning in your learner as well.
