Ready to Read: Basic Reading Skills

Each week students will work on sounding out CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) and CVCE words through games and activities.  We will also learn 2-3 sight words weekly and practice reading decodable paragraphs with a focus on comprehension.  
Classes will be highly interactive and a students will be asked to respond orally frequently throughout each class. 
Learners should have a a good base knowledge of letter sounds and letter identification at the beginning of this class to be the most successful. 

This class is perfect for students that know all their letters, letter sounds, a few sight words, and want to practice decoding words. 
If you not sure if your student is ready for this class, try out my Beginning to Read: Pre-reading Skills for Preschool and Kindergarten.  That class is great for students ready to move from letter sounds to beginning to read.
