Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 1
Come and join us for a traditional tales story adventure and games to practise reading phase 5 vowel digraphs and develop valuable reading skills. 

We will start with a short traditional tales story on visual slides. Following the story we will become phonics detectives practicing some phonics sounds before playing phonics games to grow in confidence and skill with our blending to read simple words. 

Throughout the weeks we will play engaging games such as ‘I spy’, ‘roll the dice and read’, ‘buried treasure game’ and ‘sentence spies’. 

The teacher will model separating the sounds in words and blending these together to read the words. Each week we will focus on 2 of the phase 5 sounds and practise blending these to read words. 

Please note the Phase 5 phonics sounds we will cover throughout the weeks below. 

Class Schedule: 

Week 1: ay, ou 

Week 2: ie oy, 

Week 3:  ir ea  

Week 4: ue aw 

Week 5: ph ew, 

Week 6: oe, au.

Week 7: i_e, o_e, 

Week 8: u_e. ey

Week 9: a-e, e_e


After 9 weeks the classes will start again in a loop. This means that If your child joins in the middle or towards the end, they will get a chance to learn all of the sounds we have covered.  

No equipment or materials are needed for each class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! My name is Catherine and I am an experienced primary school teacher from the UK. I have a BA Honours degree in Structured Textiles and a PGCE degree in Primary Education. For the last 7 years I have been a certified teacher of early years education.

I currently teach part time in a primary school. During the rest of the week I teach here on Outschool. 

I am up to date with the current curriculum requirements and I have extensive experience of teaching synthetic phonics, mathematics and mindfulness lessons using a scheme called Mind Up in my Primary School. 

I absolutely love teaching on this platform and having the opportunity to meet young learners from all over the world. It is my passion to provide fun and engaging learning opportunities whilst helping children to grow in confidence and believe in themselves. 

I offer a caring and welcoming learning environment where I help children to feel happy and safe. I am a motivated, enthusiastic and loving teacher who will help your child to grow in confidence whilst having fun learning new things.

My specialism is teaching literacy through synthetic phonics and I am excited to offer a variety of fun phonics lessons in which children can become secure in recognising letters and their sounds. Children will use multi sensory approaches to learn phonics through exciting games and learning activities. 

I love spending time outdoors and visiting new places with my family. I am a Mum to a toddler who is turning 3 this year. She loves exploring the world around her and it is beautiful to see her excitement as she is learning about her world. 

I am so excited to meet your little ones! Please take a look at the range of classes I offer. I offer both group and individual classes and I am flexible to schedule requests. I look forward to hearing from you soon and meeting your little one. 🥰
