Parents can access their child's progress by holding up each letter on an index card and asking the child what's the letters name and sound.Class Experience
In this four-week class, students will learn about twelve letters in the alphabet and their corresponding sounds. I believe students work best when they can follow a predictable routine. Each day students will follow the same four steps. Step 1: Watch a short teaching video Step 2: Read any book with an adult and find the letter that was taught in that book. Step 3: Print out and complete a learning activity Step 4 (Optional) Take a picture of their work and post it in the classroom. My teaching style is organized yet fun and relaxed. I wanted this class to be a good fit for students of all ages working on their letters and sounds. Each student is encouraged to take a picture or video of their work and post it onto the classroom. They are welcome to ask questions as well. All of the work can be completed at their own pace.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the letter names and sounds of twelve letters in the alphabet.
