💙Level 5 Word Study Tutorial is designed for readers who are learning to read and spell complex words such as ‘firefighter.’ They are mastering many digraphs such as /i-e/ and /-igh/. They want to know more about word categories like 'opposites' and 'compound words.' 💙 CLASS CONTENT: Each 45-minute includes Via screen-sharing: 1️⃣ 🎶 I sing a brief letter-sound song with a slideshow of pictures/lowercase print letters. The songs reinforce memorization of digraphs such as 'ai' for 'airport. 2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce 8 colorful photos for a topic such as "synonyms," ('joyful/ecstatic') focusing on names, spellings and descriptions. 3️⃣ 📝 Using the dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word twice while spelling the letter names. 4️⃣ 📖 I encourage the learner to read each label, describe the picture or use their word in a sentence, and observe as I match each label with a picture. 5️⃣ 🖼️ 📝 📖 We repeat the same process with another 8 photos: introduction, writing, reading and discussion. 6️⃣ 🎉 I guide a fun cooperative BINGO game, emphasizing picture description, conversation and correct spelling. 🥰 My teaching style is warm, attentive and patient. This class is similar to a Montessori classroom experience; one-on-one lessons focusing on vocabulary, spelling, conversation, and learning to read fluently! 💙 Each session focuses on reading 16 words in one category, such as 📃simple plural nouns with /-s/ e.g. ‘raincoats’ & ‘chauffeurs’ 📃 /-es/ plural nouns e.g. ‘benches’ & ‘potatoes’ 📃 /-ies/ plural nouns e.g. ‘puppies’ & ‘stories’ 📃 irregular plural nouns e.g. 'mice' & 'children.' 📃 homophones e.g. 'deer/dear' & 'knight/night' 📃 more homophones e.g. 'ate/eight' & 'pair/pear’ 📃 puzzle words (sight words that are spelling ‘rule-breakers’) e.g. 'friends' & ‘mountain’ 📃 color names e.g. 'vermilion' & 'aquamarine' 📃 synonyms e.g. 'joyful/ecstatic' & ‘looking/gazing’ 📃 more synonyms e.g. 'delicious/scrumptious' & 'calm/peaceful' 📃 antonyms e.g. 'cheerful/discouraged' & 'nighttime/daytime' 📃 more antonyms e.g. 'interior/exterior' & ‘loose/tight’ 📃 compound words e.g. ‘highway’ & 'bowtie' 📃 compound words e.g. 'earring' & ‘waterskiing’ 📃 compound words e.g. 'baseball' & ‘lighthouse’ 📃 compound words e.g. 'motorcycle' & ‘seashore 💙 Enroll any time - the content is not cumulative 📝 For learners who already write in cursive, I offer word list PDFs in cursive font 🧑🏽💻MONTESSORI READ & WRITE CLASSES: 🤍 Intro Level "Montessori Phonics: Letter Sounds & Easy Handwriting" (self-paced) 🩷 Level 1 "Phonics - CVC Words for Beginners" (group or 1:1) Ages 3 - 6 ❤️ Level 2 "Phonics Fun - Blends for Beginners" (group or 1:1) Ages 3 - 6 🧡 Level 3 "Phonics & Intro to Digraphs" (group or 1:1) Ages 4 - 6 💛 Read Books Aloud & Memorize Sight Words (1:1 only) Ages 5 - 7 💚 Level 4 "Mastering Digraphs for Emerging Readers" (group or 1:1) Ages 5 - 7 💙 Level 5 "Word Study for Emerging Readers" (group or 1:1) Ages 5 - 7 💜 Level 6 "Vocabulary Enrichment for Emerging Writers" (group or 1:1) Ages 5 - 7
