Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Hello everyone!
This class is designed to follow on from my 'Phase 4 Phonics class.'
In this 20 week course, we will meet twice a week to focus on different sight words, digraphs and trigraphs found in phase 5 phonics. We will also review sounds learned in phase 3 and 4 phonics. 
Each class will begin with a review section and we will learn sounds and sight words through a story and different activities. Some classes may require you to print a worksheet or booklet to bring to class with you. Any resources will be sent to the classroom each Sunday.
I am a fully qualified teacher and teaching how to read is my speciality!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Vicki. I am a mum to my beautiful 5 year old son and I am also a fully qualified primary school teacher. I LOVE to teach and I have been teaching for 15 years. 
I have taught students from age 3 up to 11 years in a UK primary school and I specialize in teaching early years students and students with special educational needs. 
For the past 2 years I have also been teaching online alongside my school teaching job. Online I have taught students from age 3 to 16.
I love to make teaching fun for the student and I often relate my classes to popular TV characters to engage children further. I teach in a multi sensory way as I think that is how children learn best and it helps to create a lifelong love of learning.
I can't wait to see you in class!
