Is your child a struggling reader or just needing some brush up? This is the class for you. This is a review for students needing to strengthen their skills in reading and writing words with long vowels. We will be reviewing phonics/sounds of letters, fluency/connecting letter sounds, vocabulary/new words and writing. This class includes a "Wiggle Break" to get our brains moving, reading circles and fun characters to help us practice our skills. I will teach live sessions which will provide opportunities for modeling and student practice. After the lesson, kids will have a fun reading game to do with their families. Parents are also encouraged to read with children as much as possible. My teaching style is to encourage each child at their developmental level and celebrate their individual growth in reading skills.
Learning Goals
In this class students will improve their phonics, fluency and vocabulary skills.
