Is your child enjoying reading? 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 games, read alouds (using the classic Beatrix Potter stories - no purchase necessary) and creating written sentence puzzles. This class will include a review of foundational phonics (from previous levels 1-8), blends, digraphs, vowel teams, Heart Words, vocabulary, decoding multisyllabic words, and recognizing word chunk patterns. I look forward to continuing with my learners and helping each one become a more fluent reader! Week 1: "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" - vowel rule review, heart words, board games, sentence puzzles, read aloud, vocabulary , compound words, contractions, suffixes and multi-syllabic words Week 2: "The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin" - digraphs, blends, vowel teams, heart words, board games, sentence puzzles, read aloud, multi-syllabic words and vocabulary Week 3: "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" - digraphs, blends, vowel teams, heart words, board games, sentence puzzles, read aloud, multi-syllabic words and vocabulary Week 4: "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" - digraphs, blends, vowel teams, heart words, board games, sentence puzzles, read aloud, multi-syllabic words and vocabulary
