Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing that is based on the alphabetic principle—the understanding that letters represent sounds that form words. Phonics instruction requires developing learners’ phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate sound patterns (phonemes) in order to teach the corresponding spelling patterns (graphemes) that represent them.

How the class is set up for learning each day: 
1. Visual Learning:
SEE IT - SEE the picture to identify the sound patterns for reading and spelling patterns for writing/spelling.
2. Auditory Learning:
SAY IT - SAY the story to recall the sounds that letters make when they get together.
3. Kinesthetic Learning:
DO IT - DO the actions to engage muscle memory for easy phonological processing and nonconscious skill retrieval.
DO the Better Alphabet Song to fast-track mastery of individual letters and sounds—taking just 2 weeks to 2 months.
4. Affective Learning
FEEL IT - FEEL the emotional connections by acting out letter sound behaviors through role play to activate the brain’s emotional systems for deeper learning and increased learner engagement.

Hello, my name is Shannon Elder.  I am a teacher in Texas.  I have taught for 13 years and it is my passion.  I am certified to teach ages from pre-k to 6th grade.  I have taught: 6th, 5th, 3rd, and 2nd grade.  I am also certified with ESL (English as a Second Language), Special Education, Gifted and Talented. I have my Masters in Educational Leadership.  I became a teacher because I struggled a lot in school.  I was diagnosed with dyslexia in late elementary school.  I promised myself I would become a teacher to help all of the kids that struggle like I did.  I understand kids with lack of focus, low motivation, or just struggling all together.  I know how to get kids excited about school and learning.  I am going to open up reading, phonics, and math tutoring.  During the summer, I will be adding in a summer book club.
