Homework
For "homework," I provide optional resources that are designed to be enjoyable activities for families. These include Boom Cards, or digital flashcards and puzzles. These activities are for extra practice, and you don't have to do them. You choose if you want to use them based on what you like and when you're free. These resources are fun, simple activities for families to do together.

Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - 1
Beginner Level
In this self-paced class, we'll explore all of the vowel sounds from 'A' to 'Y' over 14 weeks. You can start anytime, and you won't be behind.

This class is modeled after my live Level 1 phonics class. Each week, we'll focus on one vowel sound using flashcards and games. These resources include flashcards and picture puzzle games. 

The class is pre-recorded, so you can watch the lessons at your convenience. If you prefer live classes, I also offer a live version of this class.

Week 1: 3 Sounds of A (Short A)
Week 2: 3 Sounds of A (Long A)
Week 3: 3 Sounds of A (/ä/ Sound)
Week 4: 2 Sounds of E (Short E)
Week 5: 2 Sounds of E (Long E)
Week 6: 2 Sounds of I (Short I)
Week 7: 2 Sounds of I (Long I)
Week 8: 2 Sounds of O (Short O)
Week 9: 2 Sounds of O (Long O)
Week 10: 2 Sounds of U (Short U)
Week 11: 2 Sounds of U (Long U)
Week 12: 3 Sounds of Y (/y/ Sound)
Week 13: 3 Sounds of Y (Long E)
Week 14: 3 Sounds of Y (Long I)

📌 Please note: Every week I offer Boom Cards (digital flashcards with images and audio). You will need to create a free account at www.boomlearning.com to play. These flashcards are a great resource, but they are completely optional. 

In the classroom, I have posted links to the following weekly resources: 

1. Boom Card links to flashcards (digital)
2. Boom Card picture puzzle activity for each vowel sound (digital)
3. Lesson Recording (video)

📌📌 Redemption Code: To redeem any Boom Cards, simply enter the code Outschool at checkout.

📚✨ As a bonus, in the classroom's Welcome Post, I'm excited to offer you a review of five Boom Card flashcard sets. These resources, absolutely free, provide a comprehensive overview of the class and a thorough review of the sounds from letters A to Z. Feel free to explore these sets at your own pace, and if you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hello, everyone! 👋 I’m Molly, also known as Teacher Molly. 

About My Teaching Style
In my classes, I focus on phonics because I’ve seen how it makes learning to read easier for kids. Over the years, I’ve created hundreds of resources like games, worksheets, and flashcards to support literacy. My goal is to make reading fun and help build strong foundations for all learners.

I hold a Master’s in Education, specializing in Teaching English Literacy and ESL, but my real learning began when I started teaching full-time. That’s when I discovered how important phonics is for reading success. Now, I bring this approach to all my classes!

All of my classes require access to Boom Cards. I suggest setting up a family account for easy access when you're given the option to open a student, teacher, parent, or family account. You can sign up for free with the following link: www.boomlearning.com

Why I Love Teaching 1-on-1
One-on-one classes allow each student to share, participate, and learn at their own pace. I truly enjoy helping them engage fully in class. And with Outschool, learning isn’t limited to a classroom—it can happen anywhere! Whether at home, in the car, or at the park our learning isn’t limited to traditional classrooms or school hours. We’re learning all day, every day, wherever we are.

🌟 🗓️ Schedule and Availability
I offer classes Monday to Friday from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM (PST) and Saturdays from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (PST). If you see “No open spots” on a class, don’t worry—there likely are spots! Just click "Show alternative times" to view what’s available. If you need a specific time not listed, message me with your time zone, and I’ll do my best to help.
