What's included

16 live meetings
24 in-class hours
Homework
4+ hours per week. The only homework that I will require, is for the students to read different types of literature on their own, to become familiar with new words and their meaning. Learners will not have any projects to do, other than their reading. The reading should be 1 hour per day. The learners will be expected to read at least 7-8 pages, in the books they've chosen to read.
Assessment
The learner's progress will be assessed by a letter grade. Students like to see what grade they've made.

Class Experience

US Grade 2
I will prepare to teach the students the essential standards needed, for learning to read, or to improve their reading, writing and spelling skills.

WK 1. Phonics, independent practice that helps students learn key phonics.
WK 2. Practicing phonics through word building.
WK 3. Practicing super words, through word building.
WK 4. Putting letters together to form words.
WK 5. Word ladders, phonic skills that help to boost students reading, writing and spelling confidence. 
WK 6. Sentence building, using sight word builders.  
WK 7. Word families; will be introduced to enforce reading readiness.
WK 8. Let's read.


I will structure my class in a classroom setting.

I will teach my class, by introducing the topics for the week and we will begin with those topics on a weekly basis. I will introduce new words to them and have them recite those words back to me, for proper pronunciation.

My teaching style is standard, just like the students are familiar with in school.

The learners will interact with me, in every class setting, with discussions on phonics, using their (a b c's), rhyming words, consonants, short vowel sounds, such as, (a e i o u), that they've learned and stringing words together, to make sentences, so that they can start reading. Sometimes I will show slides, or we can play some games, with activities in reading.

The learners will need some foundational reading skills, such as (1) Print Concepts; where the learners will need to know that words in print, runs from left to right and that words are groups of letters separated by space.  (2) Phonological Awareness; to have the ability to orally identify and manipulate the sound of words, syllables and speech.  (3) Phonics and Word Recognition skills, which includes analyzing multisyllabic words into small meanings of words.  (4) Fluency, the ability to read connected text automatically.

Learning Goals

The students will learn (1) Phonics (2) Phonemic awareness (3) Vocabulary (4) Fluency and (5) Comprehension.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
There will be nothing scary about the books the children will read. I will suggest some books for the parents to purchase, in their child's age range.
Supply List
My learners will need paper, pencils, crayons and a few books that I will inform the parents on purchasing.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
The books that I will use, will be "The Cat in the Hat", "Martha Speaks", "Between the Lions, Season Two" and "Animalia". The parents can purchase them from Book Stores.
