Class Experience
This reading class will help early readers and struggling readers become great readers! Learners will engage in phonics lessons and games, reading comprehension activities, building vocabulary, and practicing reading fluency.

Learners will learn the names and sounds of each letter in the alphabet. They will learn how to blend sounds to read words. More advanced readers will learn about how letters combine to make sounds. Learners will learn new vocabulary words and how to demonstrate reading comprehension by retelling a story and answering questions about the story. Learners will improve their reading fluency. Learners will become better readers in all 5 areas identified by the science of reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
