Join me in learning to read! 
With this fun class, your student and I will begin learn the letter sounds of the english alphabet. Letter sounds will be practiced through an ABC song. Learning letter sounds is important for any new reader, as the ability to identify letter sounds in words is an essential foundation to successful reading. This is also a great practice for early readers as it will allow students to review identifying letter sounds and sounding out words in reading. 
Sight words will be learned through repeated readings, and fluency practice. Sight words learned are appropriate for early readers but will increase in difficultly as the course continues. 
If students are ready we will end the class by learning to blend and read simple, decodable words.
