Beginner Level
In this interactive reading class, we focus on strengthening phonics skills through passages and activities that cover: - Phonics Concepts: Short and long vowel families, blends, digraphs, diphthongs, and r-controlled vowels. - Sight Words: Pre-primer and primer sight words for early reading fluency. - Skill Development: Targeted exercises build sight word recognition, vocabulary, and writing abilities. This class, ideal for Kindergarten through Grade 3 learners, is designed for students who are either new to reading, blending letters, and already familiar with basic alphabet sounds and sight words. Class Structure and Pacing Before Unit 3: Each session begins with a 15-minute review of the letter set and sight words, followed by group reading activities and games. This section can be repeated as needed. Unit 3 and Beyond: Week 1 - Learning Sounds and Words (Group-Focused): Students work together on a new phonics theme, using a word list and group activities to practice sounds and words. Week 2 - Story Reading Practice (Individual Focus): Each student has 10-15 minutes of individual reading time with me, reading 1-2 stories aloud to reinforce fluency and comprehension. Class Details: - Each class section runs for 48 weeks before completely closing.
