Class Experience

Are you ready to write?! What will our story be today? Preschool children are just beginning to understand the concepts of print! In this course, students will learn how to turn letters into words and then the words into a sentence. For this course, it is important that students already know how to correctly hold a writing utensil and have a basic understanding of how to write the letters of the alphabet. Each class will have a different prompt sent via email for the student to download. During class, we will explore the prompt and brainstorm words that describe the scene. I will write the words down and then together we will create one or two simple sentences. I will write one word at a time to model the sentence as the students copy them onto their own paper. Please note that this is not a phonetics course, so we will not be sounding out words. The main goal is to help students see the relationship between words spoken and written.
