Class Experience

US Grade 1
Reading with Mrs. Rose: 

In this class, students will practice their reading skills with digital books and passages. Phonics skills will be addressed based on the story we are reading. We will work on questioning and comprehension skills. Students need to understand thinking is essential to reading. Through discussion, students will be able to show their thinking while reading. Students will also improve their spelling skills by mapping and writing the sight words from the stories. 

As an on-going class, learners can enter at anytime during the course. Please note, each week will focus on one story including the phonics skills and sight words.  The content within the week will continue from one class to the next. 

The books and passages will be presented from a digital platform and powerpoint presentations. Video clips will be included when it offers further support of comprehension. Students will interact with each other through discussions led by the teacher. 

***Students MUST be able to decode (sound out) words with fluency in order to be successful in this class. This class is geared toward 5, 6, and 7 year olds. This class is geared toward the beginner reader who needs more supported practice, as well as the uninterested or disengaged reader. The books used in this class are highly decodable short vowel words and also have a strong support of sight words.*** 

***In order for me to assist your child while reading, I do require cameras to be turned on during class. I need to be able to see their mouths and how they are forming the sounds in words.***

Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Welcome! I am a Florida Certified Educator. I have been a primary teacher for 20 years. I taught PreK, Kindergarten, and First Grade. I have my Master's Degree in Brain Based Teaching with a Focus on Literacy. (This program was based on what is now known as the Science of Reading). I am currently continuing my education with the Science of Reading courses. I have also completed the Orton-Gillingham Associates Level training. I love all aspects of teaching reading and helping students fall in love with and learn to read.  I truly believe in hands-on learning, using a variety of teaching styles to meet all students where they are. What works for one student, may not work for another. I am always ready to make changes to to help each and every student learn. I am married with an inquisitive 9 year old daughter. She truly keeps me on my toes as I watch her grow and learn. We also have a 7 year old Boxer-Lab pup who completes our family.
