•This class is for students who can recognize all letters of the alphabet and their sounds. 
• If your child cannot read CVC words yet, this class is not the correct level for him/her.
• The purpose of this class is to help students become independent with decoding words beyond CVC words.
• Students should be able to attend class with little to no parental redirecting. 
• During this ongoing class, students will be able to recognize digraphs, trigraphs, diphthongs, combinations, and quadgraphs.
• A different digraph, trigraph, diphthong, combination, or quadgraph will be introduced in each lesson.
• Students will use the words in the lessons for rhyming, blending, segmenting, substituting, adding phonemes, deleting 
   phonemes, and playing a game.
• I will show lessons through PowerPoint slides.
• This is a small class, so it is highly interactive. 
• Students must be able to recognize letters and their sounds without help from parents. 
• Students must be able to verbalize letters and their sounds.
• Students who cannot yet recognize and verbalize letters and sounds will find this class too challenging. 
• No materials are needed during class.

I hope to see you in class!
Thank you
