This is a weekly class to learn or review phonics skills. Great for 1st grade students learning phonics and great for 2nd graders reviewing skills. Some 3rd grade students may enjoy it too. 

Each week, students will use pre-selected letters and work together to build 12-15 words made from a bigger mystery word. The goal is to figure out the mystery word! I typically coordinate words with the season/holiday. The words start small and gradually get bigger as we move closer to the mystery word. Students learn new words, learn letter patterns, and work on spelling skills as they complete this activity. This is an effective method for strengthening spelling skills and brushing up on phonics skills! Such a fun and challenging way to improve literacy skills! 

This class covers the following skills:
-phonemic awareness
-phonics
-spelling
-vocabulary 

Students will each get the opportunity to build a world on slides but they will also build words at home using post its or any other paper squares/tiles that contain the letters of the week. This ensures that it is engaging and hands-on for everyone! They can also use whiteboards and dry erase markers. Whatever works best for them! 

If you need assistance determining if this class is a good match for you child, please message me and I'll help you with that! 

Perfect class for brushing up on phonics skills or learning new ones! 

LESSONS- please bring a writing utensil and blank post its or paper squares!  This allows the class to be hands-on. Students move the tiles around to create words!
