This class is based on the Science of Reading and includes both phonological awareness activities as well as phonics activities. Explicit and systematic instruction in both is crucial for children to become successful readers. There are many skills involved in the reading process, but without the foundational knowledge of how letter sounds work together to form words, children are left using other "reading" strategies (many of which are no more than guessing at the correct word) that will leave them feeling incompetent as readers. My goal is to build confident readers! This beginner-level course will provide students opportunities to isolate, blend, and manipulate sounds. This course will teach CVC words, including all short vowel sounds (a, e, i, o, u.) The class will consist of direct instruction, scaffolding (I do, we do, you do,) student participation/discussion, hands-on word work, and fun (no pressure) group games and activities! The students are actively participating the entire time. I also have a wonderful reward system set-up that works beautifully to keep the learners engaged and on track throughout the lessons!
Learning Goals
-Students will learn to isolate, blend, and manipulate sounds.

Supply List
Upon enrollment, each student will receive a small packet to be printed. The packet will include letter cards as well as a few additional pages that will be used throughout the course. It is advised that you create a folder to store your child's papers and other supplies for class. The letter cards will need to be cut out and kept in a small ziplock bag. Materials needed for every class are: a small mirror (for observing correct letter formation), marker board, marker, paper towel or eraser, crayons, 3 pennies, letter cards, and any papers that have been printed. There will be papers to print upon enrollment and there will also be a few papers to print that will be posted each week. (I always post papers well in advance of class to give time for them to be printed before class.) It is VERY helpful for your child to come to class prepared with their materials! We cover a lot of material each class and we want to make the most of our time!
