1 hour per week. After every class, the teacher will supply each child with 20 words to practice reading. When practicing these words, the goal isn't for the children to memorize them, the goal is for them to practice blending phonetic letter sounds and digraphs together, and begin reading. Please don't force your child to practice. Creating a positive and supportive learning environment is the first step in ensuring a love for reading and learning! If you have any questions or need any tips to try and encourage your child to practice reading, please feel free to reach out to us! We are always here for you!Class Experience

This 6-day course will help children review short phonetic words and introduce some of the long vowel digraphs. On the first day, we will review reading short phonetic words to ensure that everyone is ready to go. Following the quick review, we will begin working on the "magic e" rule. This rule applies to words such as cape, kite, rope, and cute. We will read and match the words to their corresponding pictures. We find using pictures to match the words to, helps the children stay engaged and they get excited when they get them correct. You have to admit... everything is way more fun when there are pictures involved! We will learn the following digraphs: /a_e/, /i_e/, /o_e/, /u_e/, /ay/, /ee/, /ea/, /ie/, and /oa/. Since the Montessori curriculum follows the child, if the teacher finds that the class is learning the digraphs very fast, we may be able to move faster and cover more digraphs. Prior Knowledge: Children should be able to read 3 and 4 letter phonetic word sentences/books fluently and independently with no help. If you aren't quite sure if this class would be a good level for your child, please send us a message and we can discuss it. We also have another class, where we practice the individual phonetic letter sounds and blending them together into short phonetic words. After that course, the child should be ready for this one. Please note: All transfers to another time must be done at least 24 hours before. Please ensure that the class time(s) works with your schedule.
Learning Goals
Children will review reading phonetic words and begin learning some of the long vowel digraphs. They will then use their previous knowledge, along with what they will learn in this course, to be able to blend the letters together in more challenging words.
