Phonics Farm! Learn to Read with Chester Chicken

*Students should already know their basic letter sounds and be able to blend CVC (consonant vowel consonant; like "cat" or "rip") words to be successful in this class*

Do you have a student who is a beginning reader or a struggling reader falling behind? “Phonics Farm: Blends and Digraphs” provide your learner with phonics strategies and rules to help them decode and sound out words independently! This lesson will focus on digraphs like “ch”, th”, and “sh”. 

"Phonics Farm" is a fun learning environment that will  keep your student engaged the whole lesson! I use a felt board with farm animals to give your learner a fun visual to connect the concept being taught with something most kids love...animals!

As an experienced 2nd grade teacher, I know what is expected of your student and how to either prepare them for the upcoming grades, build upon their current skills or catch them up! Meet some of the phonics farm animals to get your student “moo”ving toward becoming a fluent reader! 

*No materials needed*

This class will be 45 minutes in length using the following structure:
