Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Beginner Level
Does your child need extra support with phonics and early reading skills? In this interactive and engaging class, young learners will build confidence in reading through fun games, hands-on activities, and guided practice!

What will be taught?
Over four weeks, students will strengthen their phonics skills (see syllabus).

How is the class structured?
Each 45-minute session will include:
🔹 A warm-up activity to review prior skills
🔹 Explicit phonics instruction with visuals & examples
🔹 Interactive practice with games and activities
🔹 Guided reading of words and sentences
🔹 A fun closing challenge to reinforce learning

How will I teach?
This class is designed to be engaging and hands-on! I use a multi-sensory approach, including movement, visuals, and interactive games to help learners grasp phonics concepts. Students will actively participate by reading, spelling, and playing phonics-based activities.

Learner Interaction
This is a highly interactive class where students will:
✅ Practice reading and spelling words aloud
✅ Play phonics games in a small-group setting
✅ Engage in hands-on activities to reinforce concepts
✅ Receive encouragement and support in a fun, positive environment

By the end of this course, students will have improved their phonics skills and feel more confident in their reading abilities. I can’t wait to help your child become a stronger reader!

Learning Goals

Students will improve their phonics skills by recognizing and reading short vowels, blends, digraphs, silent E words, and vowel teams.
Students will develop confidence in decoding words, blending sounds, and applying phonics rules to reading and spelling.
