In this five-week course that will meet twice a week, students will continue to apply early literacy skills learned in Reading 101 for Littles Ones: A Beginner's Course Reading, but with new and engaging content. This content will include new sight words, books, as well as further work to decode words and deepen comprehension of text. This course will allow students to hone their reading skills even more! By the end of this course, your child's collection of books they can read independently will continue to grow. While the content will change weekly and build upon the prior week, our classroom activities will continue to be similar each week to allow students a sense of predictability, routine, and comfort. Through learning a new sight word each week, this course will focus on a number of skills including... Reading strategies (i.e. pointing underneath each word) Concepts of print (i.e. letters make words and words make sentences, print has meaning, words are separated by spaces, etc.) Reading simple stories Answering comprehension questions Creating simple sentences using a specific teaching technique Adding photos and/or drawings to represent sentences Course Overview Week 1 Sight Word: am Week 2 Sight Word: and Week 3 Sight Word: me Week 4 Sight Words: look Week 5 Sight Word: it Please Note: The prerequisite for enrolling in this course is that your child has already completed Reading 101 for Little Ones: A Beginner's Course to Reading. Prior to class, parents will need to follow the posted directions with information on how to print our weekly book for class. This book will need to be stapled on the left-hand side and your child will need to bring a highlighter or yellow marker to class with them. There will be a very short homework assignment after each class in preparation for the next class (10 min. max) to reinforce the skills learned. REFUNDS & TRANSFERS: Per Outschool's limited refund policy: "Full refund within 24 hours of purchase or up to a week in advance of the class." **Please make sure to note whether the time you are signing up for is AM or PM. I teach students in many different time zones, including in the early mornings and evenings. Unfortunately, I am not able to fill a spot last minute if the time of day was mistaken upon enrollment or the class was missed. This is a non-refundable policy. Other Courses: Students who enjoy taking this course may enjoy my "Storytelling, Sketching, and Labeling: Intermediate Kinder Writing Workshop" and/or “Sketching and Sentence Writing: A Kindergarten Favorite!” courses where they will build upon skills learned in this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a certified reading specialist and classroom teacher with over eleven years of teaching experience, I have experienced first hand how important it is to provide children with a strong foundation for reading. When I first began my teaching career, I had the opportunity to help create a reading curriculum for children in their first formal year of schooling in West Africa. Between my experience working overseas and teaching in the U.S., students have had great success with reading in my classroom by learning the concepts taught in this course. Reviews
