Welcome to the exciting world of "Reading Rockets: Blast off to Reading Level 1," a class specially designed for young learners who are taking their first steps into the magical realm of reading. This engaging and interactive class is tailored to provide a solid foundation for budding readers, nurturing their love for books and literacy. This class is perfect for learners who already know their alphabet and sounds.

During this class we will explore:

Phonics Fun: In this segment, children will learn the building blocks of reading - phonics. We'll introduce them to the sounds of letters and how they combine to create words. We'll practice blending sounds to read simple words and start decoding.

Sight Words: We'll gradually introduce high-frequency sight words that kids will encounter frequently in texts. These words are essential for reading fluency and comprehension.

Storytime Adventures: Reading is all about stories! We'll dive into a world of captivating tales, from classic fairy tales to contemporary children's literature. Each week, we'll read and discuss a new story, encouraging comprehension and critical thinking.

Hands-On Activities: Our class is not just about reading but also about having fun with language. We'll engage in creative activities like word games, art projects, and interactive storytelling to enhance comprehension and vocabulary.

Progressive Reading Challenges: As students gain confidence, we'll move from simple sentences to more complex texts. Gradually, they'll be reading short stories and books independently.

Supportive Environment: My goal is to foster a positive attitude towards reading. We'll create a nurturing classroom environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and celebrate their achievements.

Learners will be given print outs to practice. It is completely optional but this will help them improve their reading skills.
