Class Experience

Welcome, Reading Detectives! Come and join this fun, interactive class as we use games, word sorts, letter tiles, dry-erase boards, and decodable stories/poems to build a strong phonics foundation. Working in a small group of 3-5 learners, we’ll have fun playing games, learning, and working together. About half-way through our lesson, we will take  a short “brain break.” 

     While blending, reading, spelling, and writing words, your child will learn the phonics patterns that form the...

Learners will:
**Gain confidence in their ability to read and find joy in reading and listening to books in a low-stress but challenging, fun class.
**Blend and build words, switch sounds to make new words, read and write words, sort words by phonics patterns, and spell words by sounds.
**Read decodable reading passages with the teacher.
**Improve reading fluency and comprehension.
**Recognize and read target-specific sight words and words which don’t follow phonics rules.
 ** Build a phonics foundation by blending and manipulating sounds in real and nonsense words with: 
     1) 3-sounds, short-vowel
     2) long vowel patterns
     3) 4-6 sounds
     4) letter-sound chunks
     5) multi-syllable words
     6) soft consonants
     7) added word endings
     8) sight words with targeted vowel patterns

About 10 minutes daily of reading fluency practice, using decodable stories/poems taught in class. Be sure to SAVE THESE in your Reading Detectives notebook or folder (see supplies). We will will reread these stories/poems together in the NEXT CLASS, to continue improving fluency.

NOTE: For parents who are unsure about which level to enroll their child in, I have a short assessment I can use with your child to help determine the level. Please email me through Outschool if you would like to set up a one-time, short class for a quick assessment. I look forward to teaching your child!    Ms. Angela
