Homework
1 hour per week. For your homework assignments, you will receive worksheets designed to reinforce what we've learned in class. These worksheets serve two important purposes. Firstly, they allow you to practice writing the letters we've focused on, ensuring that you become confident in forming them correctly. Secondly, you'll have the opportunity to connect these sounds to corresponding pictures, solidifying your understanding of their phonetic associations. This practice will greatly enhance your ability to recognize and use these sounds in words. Remember, these worksheets are meant to support your learning journey and provide valuable practice outside of class.Assessment
Throughout our course, we'll have ongoing assessments to gauge progress. These assessments are called formative assessments, and they're designed to help us understand how well you've grasped the sounds we've covered. This way, we can ensure that you have a solid foundation before we move on to new material. If there's a sound you need a bit more practice with, don't worry – we'll go over it again to make sure you feel confident. Remember, assessments are just tools to help us fine-tune your learning experience and make sure you're on the right track!Class Experience
