Class Experience

In this one time course we will be reviewing our r-controlled vowels sounds (ar, er, ir, ur, or) and rules to help us remember when to use them. We will learn strategies for decoding unfamiliar words through reading as well as strategies for hearing a word, and determining the letters that make the sounds we hear in order to spell a word.

Overview of the class:
- Introduction/Greeting
- R-Controlled Vowels
- Rules for usage
- Reading strategies/Decoding words (Phonics)
- Hearing a word and determining the letters to spell the word (Phonological Awareness)

Required Experience:
This class is best used as a review. It is best if learners have prior knowledge of consonants and their sounds as well as vowels and their sounds. It is also helpful if learners have prior experience blending consonants together in words such as: blend and split.

Learner Involvement: 
Learners will get an opportunity to practice reading aloud, decoding aloud, and speaking aloud in the class. They will also be writing out words and sharing their work with each other.

Learning Goals

Learners will improve their reading and spelling abilities when they become more familiar with the different rules and sounds r-controlled vowels can make, and learning/practicing blending them together to form words. Learners will also learn strategies for decoding unfamiliar words in reading.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey there! I am an elementary teacher with a passion for English Language Arts and Reading. I love teaching children in a way that empowers them to feel confident in their abilities to succeed. My passion is to foster a love for reading and language arts in the hearts of children where they feel confident in their ability to read and write, and of course we want to have fun and make memories while doing so!

My favorite part of teaching is being a small part of a great story in the making. I love walking alongside children as they learn, grow, and create amazing things. Throughout my experience, I have worked in a variety of classroom settings where one thing has remained the same... I make sure to do my part getting to know my students: their strengths, their interests, the things that make their face light up, in order to encourage and guide them in their learning so they feel like any task is possible for them to accomplish.
 
I can't wait to meet your child and help them grow! Please reach out if you have questions or class recommendations! 

If a class time doesn't work for you, please let me know, I would love to do my best to accommodate your schedule!
