HOMEWORK: 
An one-page worksheet is provided before every class. We will begin the worksheet together in class. If it is inconvenient to print the worksheet, a blank piece of paper is okay.

EXTRA BONUS: 
Read one book together with a grownup.

During my early literacy training at the public library, I learned an incredible fact:
If a grownup reads to a child every day for just 20 minutes — basically one book — the child will hear 1.8 million words in one year. 

Therefore, Ms. Christina wants each learner to pick a book of their choice and read it together with a grown-up for homework. This can be any book in any language, and it can even be the same book every day. 

Not only will this daily reading habit expose the learner to 1.8 million words in a year, it will instill in them a lifelong love of reading. With reading being the cornerstone of all subsequent learning, the daily reading habit is the simplest, least expensive way to set your child up for a lifetime of success and joy.

35 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
