Phonics in Focus

In this class we will work on explicit phonics skills. Explicit instruction in phonics involves systematic and sequential teaching of the letter-sound relationships in written English that allow readers to decode words. We will work on letter identification, letter sounds, blending words, and vowel sounds. We will use google slides via share-screen, a worksheet, and magnetic letters via document camera. This is a class with the following schedule:

Week 1 August 6th- theme: letter identification, letter sounds, and how to write letters
Week 2 August 13th-theme: letter identification, letter sounds, and how to write letters
Week 3 August 20th-theme: Short vowel a sound
