Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Beginner - Intermediate Level
This is a fifteen week course for learners who are fluently reading CVC words and are ready for more intermediate level phonics instruction. By the end of this course, learners will be able to read intermediate level stories and ready to further their reading instruction. My teaching style is simple yet highly interactive, using tools such as songs, flashcards, books, games, and occasionally, slides and videos.

Learning Goals

Students will learn to read words with consonant blends. This includes mastery of both beginning consonant blends and ending consonant blends.
Students will learn about "silent e" and learn to read words with long vowel sounds and will distinguish long vowel words for short vowel words.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
My first experience tutoring in reading was as a senior in high school to elementary aged students. Seeing them learn and succeed instilled in me a passion for teaching and tutoring. I have since then continued to teach and tutor privately, both in person and online. I have also taught in private schools where I have worked with teaching students to read. Now it is my delight to teach my own children at home how to read.
