In this self-paced course , we will review basic letter sounds and simple CVC words then introduce new word families, consonant blends, high frequency words and read simple sentences. Students are encouraged to join the class that best fits their skill level and educational needs. For help determining this, feel free to contact me.

A self-paced course does not rely on live meetings but instead has videos, worksheets and other posts in the OutSchool classroom. This is ideal for learning to read because your child can practice over and over again and every child can learn at their own pace. 

On Mondays and Wednesdays I will post a short video introducing the word families and sight words for that week. We will work together to build word ladders, identify words that contain the word families, have fun rhyming and practice simple blending and segmenting strategies to build a good foundation for reading.

Every Friday I will post a video including a game or activity to help review what we learned throughout the week. This may include a scavenger hunt, picture sort, bingo and more. Students can look forward to sharing what they did each week and will be able to post pictures to the classroom to show off what they learned! 


⭐ Students should know all their letter names and sounds and be able to independently read many CVC words before joining this class. Please see my other listings for help with this. 

⭐ If you are not receiving emails about posts to the classroom after the first couple days in class, please check your emails SPAM folder. Often messages from OuSschool end up there and get lost.

⭐ Students will need crayons, paper and printouts of the provided worksheets. Students will also need access to "Bob Books:  Rhyming Words”. These can be purchased at Amazon (link below) or may be available to checkout at your local library (hard copy or digital).
