Does your child know consonant sounds and is ready to take the next step in learning to read? This class will help children learn to read consonant/vowel/consonant words as they are introduced to short vowel sounds and use those to formulate simple short vowel words. We will use PlayDoh to increase retention. Learners should know all consonant sounds before beginning this class, although we will quickly review them in the first class. The first day, learners will be introduced to the short sound of "a" and learn blends and words using short "a." Day two we will review short "a" and then teach short "e." Each day will review the previous vowels as well as teaching of the new vowel, blends, and words. We will use pictures to help read words as well as reading words without visual cues. Children best suited to this class are those who know their consonant sounds and possibly know their short vowel sounds and are interested in books and reading.

I try to keep students engaged through a mix of hands on teaching and great student interaction. I enjoy learning about each child and making a connection that makes them want to return to class!
PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING:
Every child is capable of learning, although some may learn in different ways. Making learning fun and working hard to learn produces children who want to learn even more! And isn't that our life goal?! Let's make life-long lovers of learning together!

When I'm not in the classroom, I love to spend time outside walking or working in my yard, reading, or spending time with friends. I also like to bake bread and make cookies.
