We will meet twice weekly to practice reading and spelling words at a 1st grade level.  This class follows the Researched-Based and Evidence-Based UFLI Foundations.  It is well regarded by educators who endorse the Science of Reading. It will be taught by a licensed special education teacher. 

Our daily class format will consist of
Day 1:
Phonemic Awareness
     Blend -  listen to sounds and blending them together
     Segment - listen to word and break into individual sounds (phonemes)
Visual Drill - See letters and make sounds
Auditory Drill - Hear sounds write letters
Blending Drill - Students will read word that are created by adding/deleting/changing 1 letter at a time
New Concept - See Schedule below

Day 2:
New Concept - review
Word Work - building words with manipulative letters (printable file for letter cards or you can use magnetic letters)
Irregular Words -  learn to read and spell common high frequency words
Connected Text - Read Sentences, Write/Spell sentences, Read/Illustrate a story
Share Illustrations

Every class will include tons of practice of previously taught concepts to allow students to join anytime and catch up in no time!  The additional practice helps returning students to not just be introduced to topics but practice them to mastery!
