Is your child excited about reading? This ongoing class is designed for students who have completed the skills in levels 1-4. This class will continue to spark the joy of reading in each learner. Lessons are structured around activities that will meet each child's individual level. My teaching style encourages confidence in readers through interactive fun games, short read alouds, and creating written sentence puzzles. Topics covered will include "phonics clues" that teach sounding out words with vowel teams, syllable types, heart words (Dolch List), and graphemes. I look forward to meeting my new learners and helping each one to continue to become a more fluent reader! Week 1: Special sound /ea/ as in steak, bread, heat; syllable types; Heart Words; board games; sentence puzzles; read aloud Week 2: Special sound /ey/ as in obey, key; syllable types; heart words; board games; sentence puzzles; read aloud Week 3: Special sound /ph/ as in phone; syllable types; heart words; board games; sentence puzzles; read aloud Week 4: Prefixes a-, be-, al-; syllable types; heart words; board games; sentence puzzles; read aloud
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate confidence in reading, and the ability to use phonics clues through interactive games and activities.
