More Phonics Fun - Level 2

Students will learn phonics skills to strengthen reading fluency. This class is for learners who are segmenting and blending basic consonant vowel consonant (CVC) words and are ready to learn additional phonics rules. 

Each class will focus on a specific phonics skill and students will be guided on how to begin and succeed during a given learning task related to that skill. There will be opportunities to practice each skill as a group through games, songs, and stories. Students will also be encouraged to demonstrate their understanding individually. The learning activities will allow students an opportunity to interact with one another while creating a supportive rapport.

This class is ideal for students looking to learn with their peers. Each student is welcome to articulate their ideas while also building strong listening skills. The interactive nature of the class will provide a compliment to a family's independent phonics workbook practice of choice. Each learner is expected to join the class from a quiet learning space in order to maintain the ability to focus. Headphones or earbuds can also help eliminate distractions. Due to the interactive nature of the learning activities, a laptop is strongly recommended. Students will be asked to manipulate the screen while learning.

My interactive teaching style facilitates a learning environment that encourages all students to work to their full potential. Positive reinforcement creates a supportive learning space where each student is motivated to see their classmates succeed. The small group setting allows me to understand the learning style of each student in order to provide the appropriate individualized instruction during each lesson.
