Phonics Fun for Firsties!

In this class, I will focus on all of the foundational skills of reading. This will include lots of repetition and multisensory learning. In each class, I will incorporate phonological awareness practice, review the sounds that we know, high frequency words, letter formation, spelling and reading words. A consistent structured routine for these skills will allow students to see their own progress, be confident in their answers and becoming very fluent in the skills that we are learning. 

All of the skills that are taught in this class are beneficial for learners who have shown signs of dyslexia, dysgraphia as well as students who have just struggled to decode words with fluency and accuracy. 

Every week, I will introduce a new concept. The first session will give students exposure to the concept.  The second and third session will include more in-depth practice and repetition. 

Throughout each lesson, students will be asked to respond to questions verbally as by writing answers down. This will allow me to monitor their understanding as the lesson progresses. 

Because of the consistent spiral reviewing and repetitive practice that will be seen throughout the course, students will be able to sporadically miss lessons or being the course late and catch back with with where we are.
