Montessori Reading & Writing: Phonics - CVC Words for Beginners

🩷 Hi! Learners call me "Ms. Rachael." Level 1 "Phonics - CVC Words for Beginners" is a great way to enhance your young learner's ability to write the alphabet and build simple CVC words.

🔡Discover the magic of the Montessori movable alphabet for phonics success! Letter sounds engage your child in mastering phonemic awareness (hearing the order of sounds in a spoken word). 

💡This awareness is the foundation of fluent reading and writing! Every child learns at a different pace, and this class is age-flexible and inclusive for atypical and/or gifted learners.

👩🏽‍👦🏽This class can be a fun shared experience for a caregiver and their child, with the adult off-camera per Outschool policy.

🩷 CLASS CONTENT: Each 30-minute session has individual attention, using the mute/unmute button to help learners focus and enjoy full participation! 
Via screen-sharing: 
1️⃣ 🎶 We sing a sound-song with one sound for each letter of the alphabet, while watching an engaging slide show. Then we sing the ABC Song; all with live autoharp accompaniment!

2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce eight colorful photos, focusing on names and descriptions.

3️⃣ 🔡 I engage each learner in turn while demonstrating the Montessori color-coded alphabet with phonetic letter sounds and photos. We sound out and discuss 8 CVC phonetic words such as "cat," "fix" and "sun." 

4️⃣ 📝 Using the XXL dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word while saying the letter sounds.

5️⃣ 🎉 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!
