Beginner Level
This class focuses on the letter Aa and its short vowel sound. We will be learning: Phonemic & Phonological Awareness: Activities with rhyming, blending, segmenting, and manipulating sounds. Students will learn to identify the short a sound with a song, and to identify words with the short a sound by engaging in fun matching activities. Phonics & Word Recognition: Letter-sound correspondences will be introduced through simple CVC words. Kirstin will model and students will follow to sound and blend consonant -vowel- consonant words. Sight Words: students will learn one new sight word. Sight words are commonly seen words that students will learn to recognize without sounding them out. Fluency & Comprehension: We will practice sounding, blending and reading CVC words fluently Kirstin will read a fun short story in class to help solidify that excitement and joy in reading. The story will be followed by questions to check comprehension.
