❤️ This one-time class is designed for young learners who already know most phonetic letter sounds, can 'sound out' simple phonetic words, yet have difficulty identifying b/d. They can write letters in lowercase print, with a dotted guide as needed. 

❤️ CLASS CONTENT: Each 45-minute session has individual attention, using the mute/unmute button to help learners focus and enjoy full participation! 
Via screen-sharing: 
1️⃣ 🎶We sing an original ABC sound-song with a slideshow. After the song, I teach a handy way to remember how to identify 'b' and 'd' by using fists and thumbs - they're always with you! 

2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce eight colorful photos of things that begin with /b/ focusing on names and descriptions.

3️⃣ 📝 Using the dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word twice while saying the letter sounds/names

4️⃣ 📖 Learners take turns to read a label, use their word in a sentence, and observe as I match each label with a picture. Fun discussion is included!

5️⃣ 🖼️ 📝 📖 We repeat the same process with another 8 photos that begin with /d/: introduction, writing, reading and discussion. 

6️⃣ 🎉 I guide a fun cooperative BINGO game, emphasizing picture description, conversation and letter sounds.
 
😊 My teaching style is warm, attentive and patient. This class is similar to a Montessori classroom experience; a small group of mixed-age learners with a shared enthusiasm for vocabulary, letter sounds, conversation, and learning to read!
