This is an introductory course for beginning readers learning vowel sounds. We will be learning the short i sound with the “-it”, “-id”, “-ig”, “-ip”, and “in” word families. When learning the short i sound, the students will be learning and practicing the word families several different ways. We will work on short i words by: In a multi-sensory approach using our bodies Using a variety of tools ( whiteboard, plastic eggs, play-doh, legos) Writing the words and sentences Reading short i phonics books and sentences The students will be learning through direct instruction and multi-sensory approaches to phonics learning. Students will be moving their bodies, writing, and reading short i stories with the teacher. Students are not expected to know how to read, this is introducing these sounds and word families to them! Letter identification and letter sound knowledge is helpful. Students can expect a brief introduction with the teacher, short i songs, moving their hands and feet to read the short i words, writing short i words, and reading short i phonics stories. We will conclude lessons with a quick review and goodbye time.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Allana! I have a husband and 3 kids! I currently am teaching preschool/second grade to my 4 and 7 year old children! We live in Florida and love to spend time together as a family. Our favorite things to do are read, go running or for a walk, and have movie nights!
I will be teaching classes for the preschool and kindergarten age students. I love focusing on reading and math. But I enjoy incorporating science and social studies skills at this age as well. I try to take each class and teach many skills to help the students grow as learners. I enjoy teaching interest topics and thematic units. I find that if a student is interested in a topic, they will be more engaged and willing to learn. I value learning that can connect to their lives and guide students to be excited about learning.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education (pk-3) with a Reading Endorsement (K-12) from Malone University in Ohio. I have taught in several different classroom settings. I have been a tutor for 6 years. I tutored math and reading for preschoolers-5th graders. I subbed in several classrooms for a semester teaching a variety of ages and subjects. I taught first grade in the classroom for two years. I taught Reading, Math, Science, Character, and Computer. Since leaving the classroom to be home with my kids, I have taught ESL online for 4 years. I primarily teach younger learners sight words and phonics skills. I also now home school my school age children. I have taught on Outschool for over two years to over 1,000 students.
I enjoy watching students make connections and understand a skill and I cannot wait to see your student in the classroom!Reviews
