Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
This private tutoring session will address activities designed for your individual learner. A typical lesson may include : A brief 5-minute "warm-up read" with a text your child will be able to read independently. Next, we will spend 15 minutes on word work. Word-work will include a making words game, sorting words activity, sight words activity, or an onset/ rime manipulation activity. This phonics section can vary from simple CVC words to multi-syllable words with prefixes and suffixes. We will spend the next 10 minutes reading a "new" leveled text on your child's instructional level. Before we read, we will go over the new vocabulary and make some predictions. Your child will then read the new story. After reading, we will spend 5 minutes discussing the book. Finally, we will write for the last 10 minutes. We will work on generating ideas, basic writing skills, and spelling strategies during this time. Again, the lesson content will depend on your particular learner and their needs.
Learning Goals
Students will practice reading independently leveled texts.
Students will practice working with words in order to build phonics and sight word skills.
Students will spend time on an "instructional" leveled text, where they can practice new vocabulary and comprehension skills and strategies.
Students will practice using spelling and writing strategies to compose a complete sentence or two.Other Details

My name is Ms. Shannon, and I am so thrilled to be a teacher on Outschool.
My Courses:
I offer various classes including, but not limited to:
First Grade Reading, Kindergarten Reading, Phonics, Sight Words, Beginning Writing, and Private Tutoring. I also offer private reading assessments and tutoring 1:1. I can help you determine what level your child is reading on and help you create a plan for progress. If you don't see an active class available, feel free to reach out and request a time.
My Professional Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from UNCW in 1996. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Early Childhood (ages 3-8), Elementary Education (ages 8-12), and as a Reading Specialist. I also hold an NBCT (National Board Certified Teacher) license and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and have been teaching online since 2020.
I currently homeschool two of my three children and work from home.
My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe meeting a student where they are is essential to helping them learn successfully. I offer a differentiated approach to allow all learners an opportunity to participate. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. I want all children to love reading and learning in general. I am passionate about children gaining confidence in their abilities and feeling successful.
Fun Facts:
