**This class is for beginner learners who have mastered the 26 sounds of the alphabet and are ready to begin blending letters and reading words and sentences in this class.** Learners will read, spell, and write three sight words each week. Sight words will help bridge the gap to reading fluency. There are some sight words that can be phonetically blended/decoded such as "him, and, in, it" while there are other sight words that cannot such as "the, to, no, said, she, he." An equal balance of repetition and variety in our learning are important components to fully grasp new concepts. Afterwards, a new list of spelling words of different topics such as colors, numbers, shapes, word families, or digraph words will be introduced weekly. We will practice reading and rhyming with the spelling words of the week. Lastly, we will practice reading sentences using a combination of spelling words and sight words that we have been learning in class together and create and write our own sentence using a word from our spelling word list. Sight Words Week-by-Week: Sept 1 - Sept 7........................................at, look, my Sept 8 - Sept 14.....................................is, the, a Sept 15 - Sept 21....................................I, am, and Sept 22 - Sept 28...................................to, go, on Sept 29 - Oct 5......................................did, it, can Oct 6 - Oct 12.........................................find, is, in Oct 13 - Oct 19.......................................he, she, the Oct 20 - Oct 26......................................I, you, has Worksheets will be made available in the classroom page for parents/guardians to print for learners to use during the class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I am Teacher Amber! I am passionate about teaching young learners ages 3-7 to read and write and will center my Outschool classes on penmanship and phonological awareness like alliteration, rhyming, and blending words. I have experienced first hand as a long term Kindergarten permanent substitute how my students were all at different levels of reading and writing. I always found time to sit down and help them improve their writing and fluency skills. I have earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, Teacher & Bilingual Education through the traditional teaching program from Texas A&M University from Kingsville, TX where I took courses on child development and the Foundations of Literacy Instruction. Through this program, I have been able to exchange ideas and teaching strategies with other teachers in the program and learn from others’ teaching philosophies while developing my own philosophy around progressivism.
I completed two semester long classroom observations for a kindergarten class and a 2nd grade class where I guided student-dictated reading prompts for students to write in their journals following a read aloud story. When I graduated, I received my Texas Educator Certificate in Core Subjects EC-6 in December 2017 allowing me to teach a variety of subjects to learners in early childhood through 6th grade. I hope I can transfer over to the Outschool online teaching platform the invaluable knowledge and skills I acquired over the years from my classroom experiences and education.
Something fun about me is that I love drawing! I remember when I was 9, I had uncovered the amazing world of anime and manga. It has opened my eyes to something new and exciting! My first anime I fell in love with was Inuyasha, followed by Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and Cased Closed. I always drew in my sketchbook any opportunity I could get. I joined my art clubs in middle and high school. I picked up a few more mediums along the way like painting and clay sculpting. I want to teach art like "How To" Drawings and paintings. I have had years of practice drawing and sketching since my childhood because of my fascination with anime and manga. That fascination has never died! I will love to teach children of different age ranges 4-8 and 9-13 depending on the complexity of the drawings. I want to incorporate my love for drawing into my teaching style.Reviews
