🌟Enrolling for Fall 2025🌟 Does your learner struggle to spell longer, multi-syllable words, use advanced vowel teams and bossy R spellings? By mastering spelling rules and patterns, students can expect to see: ✨ Improved Reading Comprehension ✨ Confident Writing Skills ✨ Expanded Vocabulary With consistent repetition and practice, this class ensures that spelling becomes second nature, leading to impressive leaps in reading levels over time—some students have jumped 2-3 levels in just one year! Every week, we will: ✨ learn 10 new words centered around special sound/spelling rules ✨ practice dividing the words into syllables for easier learning ✨ define words and talk about their respective parts of speech ✨ play interactive learning games to reinforce the learning As a bonus, I provide weekly lists, definitions, and (optional) activities for extra practice at home, ensuring continuous improvement and mastery. New students can join any week and long attending students get to know one another and have fun playing the different games every week. Repetition and practice over time makes the rules "stick". 🌟FALL 2025🌟 week of Sept 1 (NO MONDAY CLASS): open/closed syllable week of Sept 8: magic e syllable week of Sept 15: beginning blends week of Sept 23: ending blends week of Sept 29: schwa with t week of Oct 6: schwa with l week of Oct 13: schwa with n/m week of Oct 20: Bossy R (BR): er, ir, ur week of Oct 27: Vowel Team(VT): oi, oy week of Nov 3: VT: ou/ow week of Nov 10: VT: long i (igh) week of Nov 17: doubling rule 1 NO CLASS week of Nov 25 week of Dec 2: doubling rule 2 week of Dec 9: drop rule 1 week of Dec 16: drop rule 2 NO CLASS weeks of Dec 23, or 30th 🌟2026🌟 week of Jan 6: change rule 1 week of Jan 13: change rule 2 week of Jan 20: Consonant+le syllable week of Jan 27: kind old words (-ild -old -ind -olt -ost) week of Feb 3: BR: ar week of Feb 10: BR: or week of Feb 17: VT: au/aw week of Feb 24: other silent e week of March 3: VT: ch (as k and sh) week of March 10: VT: oo/ew NO CLASS week of March 17th (my spring break!) week of March 24: other BR spellings (/air/) week of March 31: other BR spellings (/er/ spelled ar and or) week of March April 7: silent letters 1 (n and b) week of April 14: silent letters 2 (gn and kn) week of April 21: VT: long a (eigh, ei) week of April 28: VT long e (ie, ei) week of May 5: v/v syllable division week of May 12: TBD
