US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
In this ongoing class we will learn to read five words each week. We will practice recognizing, spelling, and writing the words. We will use flashcards, a game, and an emergent reader to practice the words. Students will be given materials to practice the words at home. This class teaches the same words and the same materials as my individual sight word unit classes, but it does not include the review from previous units. This makes it possible for students to drop in and out of the class as suits their schedule. This class is for beginning readers who know their letters and are ready to learn some words! Parents should be nearby to help with any technology issues but do not necessarily need to sit with their child. Of course, parents are welcome to sit off camera with their learner if they wish or their child needs additional support. Below are the words studied in each unit: Oct 15 Unit 1: I, the, see, a, cat Oct 22 Unit 2: is, this, me, my, dog Oct 29 Unit 3: we, like, and, at, pig Nov 5 Unit 4: in, you, do, am, ball Unit 5: an, for, to, it, girl Unit 6: has, are, him, her, boy Unit 7: go, so, no, yes, bug Unit 8: them, that, eat, said, egg Unit 9: of, on, off, will, cup Unit 10: up, here, out, say, mom Unit 11: he, she, they, saw, dad Unit 12: why, have, can, big, fish Unit 13: had, not, but, with, toy Unit 14: three, one, two, four, door Unit 15: be, if, just, stop, bee Unit 16: red, blue, green, yellow, fox Unit 17: bad, good, then, ate, sun Unit 18: us, did, look, play, baby Unit 19: get, went, five, make, tree Unit 20: six, what, there, come, cake Unit 21: when, very, or, over, book Unit 22: who, don't, only, want, duck Unit 23: down, won't, does, by, home Unit 24: was, goes, from, new, milk Unit 25: take, could, would, now, cow Unit 26: your, open, seven, walk, bird Unit 27: some, let, put, their, hat Unit 28: read, write, ask, eight, car Unit 29: as, nine, after, under, time Unit 30: first, give, ten, because, bed

Teacher expertise and credentials
Ohio Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Education from Ohio Dominican University
Hello! Thank you for stopping by my page. I am Teacher Elizabeth. I am a licensed K-12 Special Education Teacher with a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have worked in a large urban school district for over 25 years. Most of that time was spent in a fifth grade classroom. But after working with young children on Outschool I decided to move to K-2 special education. I love making learning accessible for all students. I take pride in finding a way to connect with and educate even the most reluctant learners. I have taught students who are significantly below grade level to advanced over the years. My academic approach is to informally evaluate my students' strengths and weaknesses. I then meet my students where they are academically and build on those strengths. I have had training using multiple different instructional programs. I do not use any one method in my instruction, but blend together what works best for that individual student.
In addition to my classroom experience, I spent two years teaching students English as a Foreign Language online and am in my fourth year on Outschool! I love having the opportunity to connect with families on the other side of the world. I look forward to getting to know even more families through Outschool.
My Outschool focus is teaching beginning reading including sightwords, phonics, and fluency for both young students and older learners who need remediation. I also have a series of math classes that are based on grade level skills. These classes can be used to reinforce/reteach concepts or act as a front line instruction for a student just being introduced to the topic.
As a mother of four, I value the balance of education and family. I strive to make learning at home fun and enriching so academic time is something your learner will look forward to! I also want to make sure each and every child experiences success in the classroom.
I am no stranger to learning on the go! A few years ago, my husband and I loaded our kids up in an RV and spent our summer driving across the county visiting national parks along the way. This was a wonderful and enriching trip for all of us.
I look forward to bringing the best out of your child. I hope to see you in the classroom!
