Beginner Level
Most people have learned that S says /s/, but what about words like “is” and “beds?” I teach all the sounds made by the alphabet as opposed to teaching just the one or two most commons sounds. Additionally, I teach them in the order they occur most often. By learning the 75 basic phonograms that represent the 45 English sounds, along with spelling rules, we can decode 98% of English words. There is no falling back on exceptions and no memorizing sight words. This ongoing, one-on-one tutoring course is for learners beginning their reading journey or looking for more support. Learners will work on developing phonemic awareness skills through investigative lessons that include multi-sensory activities and music. The goal of this course is for students to be able to recall all letter sounds, decode multisyllabic words, build short phrases, and spell one-syllable words. Depending on learners needs, we will cover: • Kinesthetic awareness of sounds • Distinguishing and identifying sounds • Blending two words into a compound word • Blending words with two phonemes • Blending one-syllable words with and without out a consonant blend • Blending two consonants • Segmenting one-syllable words • Initial, final, and medial sounds • Blending and segmenting multisyllabic words • Handwriting • Spelling analysis Once learners know all letter sounds, they are ready to graduate to our next course, “One-on-one Learn to Read Series: Multi-Letter Phonograms.” Each lesson will follow a similar structure. • Greeting • Phonemic awareness practice • Introduction to new letter sounds • Letter sounds song • Handwriting • Phonogram review game • Spelling analysis • Comprehension and fluency • Wrap-up and farewell What are the 3 sounds of A?
