Homework
1 hour per week. After each lesson, I will send home a word list to review with your learner. These words are the specific tricky words that the learner should review at home to improve mastery. Your child should read the list of words in isolation and within the story at the end of the review sheet.Progress Report
After each class, I will send you a phonics focus form. This form includes data on which words your learner has not yet mastered. This data should drive our focus when deciding which phonics skills to practice next.Class Experience

Let's master phonics and begin reading! Tailored for 6-9-year-olds, this class refines phonics skills to boost reading confidence. Let's look at all you will learn in 25 minutes: 1) Book Selection: Dive into decodable books targeting specific phonics skills, not just reading levels. 2) Skill Enhancement: Engaging activities enhance phonemic awareness and reading skills. 3) Guided Reading: I'll provide the book, guiding reading, and modeling word decoding. 4) Book Discussion: Comprehension questions deepen understanding and analysis. 5) At-Home Practice: Detailed feedback and word lists for continued improvement. No need to assist during class—I've got it covered! Here's what we cover: * Phonemic awareness * Synthetic phonics * Decoding techniques * Sight words & vocabulary * Reading comprehension Assessment: Each child is assessed at the beginning of the first lesson. Then, the child will be assessed at the end of every lesson. The evaluation entailed reading sentences out loud. I will be monitoring accuracy, speed, and automaticity.

The student must already understand and speak English proficiently. Some words will be new to the student, but most of them should already be a part of their everyday speech.
