This sixth in a series, 2 week course is geared to emerging readers only, who have completed Intro to Fun and Fast Beginning Reading PART E -AND- have passed a prerequisite Placement Test. In this small-step, highly engaging and carefully sequenced series of lessons, students will learn letter sounds and word attack skills. This series uses a teacher-guided, award-winning, research-backed, mildly animated computer program that provides on-screen instruction. The combination of live and computer instruction forms the basis of each session. Each lesson introduces a few things that are new and weaves them into applications that involve familiar words and skills. Participants will complete 1 lesson per day, for a total of 8 lessons.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to:
*Identify letters by name
*Identify and say sounds of letters

Parental Guidance
PLEASE READ - An important note about the realities of the online classroom and my particular teaching methods:
My classes have a distinct interactive component. Students are required to respond either by voice or movement a great deal during every session. Every response called for is actually an assessment; and allows me to see whether concepts have been grasped or if re-teaching or additional practice is necessary before moving on.
The nature of our wonderful online space sometimes makes this assessing quite the challenge. Much like a cell phone, ambient background noise is amplified in the online classroom. Talking, babies crying, dogs barking etc. become difficult hurdles to overcome. Additionally, we at Outschool serve students world-wide. Therefore, our audience is often on different web speeds over vastly different distances, where lag time and echoes can also hinder instruction.
Because of all of the above, please know that I may find it necessary to mute students' microphones. Also know that if I must do so, it is only in attempt to hear (and see) all responses. It is not the CHILD that is being muted, but the ambient noise, echo or lag - and never as a penalty.
All that said, in order to assure the best instruction for everyone, as well as allow me to assess the work of your children, please have them work in the quietest space available. Thank you for your understanding :)
Supply List
Students should have something to write with (preferably a pencil) to complete the worksheet section of each lesson. Worksheets for lessons 41-48 are provided by the instructor at no additional cost. Please print and compile these sheets before the first online lesson.

I am a reading specialist with a PASSION for teaching reading! While my specialty is catching students up who are significantly behind in record time, I began my teaching career at the preschool level and hold a permanent Nursery School Certificate. Because little ones are naturally inquisitive and energetic, they are uniquely enjoyable to teach. :)
Having earned a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education, a Master of Science in Special Education as well as several teaching certificates in two states, I have taught in public and private schools and I continue to serve students of all ages, grades and skill levels; from those with severe autism to the gifted and talented, Pre-K through College.Reviews
