In this interactive class, we will learn 2-3 sight words a week, read a story, learn comprehension strategies, and practice decoding skills. To develop decoding and spelling skills, we will also practice writing, reading, and playing with words. During these lessons, your child will have an opportunity to read, write, and learn. Your child will refine reading and decoding strategies. Students will have plenty of opportunities to participate. I have over 20 years of experience teaching elementary students to refine their reading skills. Students should be able to read first-grade passages, decode short vowel and long vowel words, and know at least 100 sight words.

My name is Ms. Shannon, and I am so thrilled to be a teacher on Outschool.

I offer various classes including, but not limited to:
First Grade Reading, Kindergarten Reading, Phonics, Sight Words, Beginning Writing, and Private Tutoring. I also offer private reading assessments and tutoring 1:1. I can help you determine what level your child is reading on and help you create a plan for progress. If you don't see an active class available, feel free to reach out and request a time.
My Professional Background:
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from UNCW in 1996. I am a licensed teacher in the areas of Early Childhood (ages 3-8), Elementary Education (ages 8-12), and as a Reading Specialist. I also hold an NBCT (National Board Certified Teacher) license and TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate. I have over 25 years of teaching experience and have been teaching online since 2020.
I currently homeschool two of my three children and work from home.
My Teaching Philosophy:
I believe meeting a student where they are is essential to helping them learn successfully. I offer a differentiated approach to allow all learners an opportunity to participate. I believe in a multi-sensory approach to learning. I want all children to love reading and learning in general. I am passionate about children gaining confidence in their abilities and feeling successful.
Fun Facts:
