Beginner Level
❤️This tutorial is designed for young learners who already know one sound for each letter and need guidance as they practice 1-word phonetic reading with short vowel sounds and blends. ❤️ CLASS CONTENT: Via screen-sharing: 1️⃣ 🎶 with an original slideshow we sing a letter-sound song for the entire alphabet, then sing the ABC Song! 2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce eight colorful photos, focusing on names and descriptions. 3️⃣ 🔡 I demonstrate the Montessori color-coded alphabet with phonetic letter sounds and photos. We sound out and discuss phonetic words such as "dig," "frogs" and "sunset." 4️⃣ 📝 Using the dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word twice while saying the letter sounds. 5️⃣ 📖 With guidance, the learner reads each label, use the word in a sentence, and observes as I match each label with a picture. Fun discussion is included! 6️⃣ 🎉 I guide a fun cooperative BINGO game, emphasizing picture description, conversation and letter sounds. If the learner feels ready to read books aloud, we will also read a short digital book from Pioneer Valley Books, via screen-sharing. 😊 My teaching style is warm, attentive and patient. This class is similar to a Montessori classroom experience; an enthusiastic one-on-one lesson on vocabulary, letter sounds, spelling, conversation, and learning to read! We'll end each meeting with a brief goodbye song with live autoharp accompaniment. Each session focuses on 8 words for writing and reading with an additional 8 words on the BINGO game, such as "map, fins, pigpen, hut, pump, mist, plant, robin" and "mop, belt, wax, wig, squint, web, ants, pom-pom" ❤️ Enroll any time - the content is not cumulative. I teach 4 more challenging levels of Montessori Read & Write classes and I’m happy to communicate when your child is ready for the next level! 📝 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
