What's included
6 live meetings
2 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. After every class for the first 2 classes, the teacher will supply each child with the words from that class to practice reading. After the last 3 classes, the teacher will supply each child with some sentences for them to practice before the next class. When practicing reading, the goal isn't for the children to memorize them, the goal is for them to practice blending phonetic letter sounds together. Please don't force your child to practice. Creating a positive and supportive learning environment is the first step in ensuring a love for reading and learning! If you have any questions or need any tips to try and encourage your child to practice reading, please feel free to reach out to us! We're always here for you!Class Experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
This 6 day course will help children build the confidence to read longer phonetic words. They will then use those skills and read short phonetic sentences. For the first 3 classes, we will work on reading longer phonetic words, and in the following 3 classes, we will be reading short phonetic sentences. I incorporate a lot of pictures into my classes because they help the children stay engaged. You have to admit... everything is way more fun when there are pictures involved! After every class, I post the word/sentences that we read that day, along with the pictures for the children to practice before our next class. Prior Knowledge: Children should be able to read 3 letter words independently. If they aren't quite able to read them independently yet, feel free to reach out to us and we can discuss if we think this class would be suitable, or you could keep practicing and sign up for the next session. We also have another class, where we practice reading 3 letter words. After that course, the child should be ready for this one. Please note: All transfers to another time must be done at least 24 hours before. Please ensure that the class time(s) works with your schedule.
Learning Goals
Children will read phonetic words with four or more letters and read short sentences, using phonetic words.
