Beginner Level
This is a year long ongoing class that students can meet together to build a good foundation for reading. The class will give students the opportunity to meet with other students daily and to have meaningful interaction with them while practicing basic beginning phonics, reading and language arts skills. This will be an active class and students will be encouraged to participate and interact with classmates. Having permission to use the leveled reading stories from k5learning.com , this class will begin with level A stories and work our way through Level D by the end of the school year. Sight words (see and say words, as we call them in class) are introduced and then added to a stack that we will drill each time we have class. Come join this class, and build a good foundation in reading.

Parental Guidance
k5learning has given permission for me to use their materials but I cannot send parents a pdf file of the stories used in class. These stories can be accessed from their website k5learning.com without any membership fee. Parents will be sent the exact location of the stories at the time of registration. There is a small fee to download a file of 12 stories for each level. Once downloaded to the computer, parents can print them for their student to use in class and to reread the stories again with their parents for extra practice.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University/ Ohio
I am Teacher Colleen and am a retired teacher with Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and Deaf Education. I was certified to teach in the states of Ohio and Florida. During my 40 years in education I had the opportunity to teach in public and private schools, homeschool some of my own children as well as teach American Sign Language at the college leveI. Most recently, I taught ESL through an online platform and worked as an intervention tutor at our local elementary school. My experience in the classroom and with my own children has taught me that all children learn differently. I will provide a classroom where all children can learn in a safe, friendly environment. You will find my classrooms to be very hands-on and child oriented. It is rewarding to see a child's face light up as they understand something new or see them glow with pride when they realize that they CAN do something that they didn't think they could do. I will be offering classes in Phonics/Reading for Levels 1-3, Math for Levels 1-3, Cursive writing, Science camps, Writing workshops, Math Facts Practice and ASL. I do offer a limited number of 1-1 tutoring slots, but try to focus on students that really need intervention to bring them up to grade level. I am the mom of 7 children and 8 wonderful grandchildren (with the 9th one arriving in March!). When I am not in the classroom you will find me spending time with my family and my German shepherd, Ellie.
