Let's take the frustration out of learning how to spell words by understanding word patterns and spelling rules in a fun, hands-on way. This class is perfect for students who are in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade. 

Students are engaged in learning while using letter tiles. Don't have letter tiles? No problem! Students can use magnet letters or small rectangular cut outs with the letters written on them to create words and words with similar word patterns. Each week we will practice a new spelling and phonics pattern and students will practice reading and writing these words. Each week we will use interactive visuals to learn about spelling rules, practice writing the words, and doing movement activities to stay engaged and excited! 

Sample Class:
Introduce ourselves and build our community. 
1. Create a word ladder with paper and pencil and build words with letter tiles, magnets or cut pieces of paper.
2. Write one word in a sentence and share.
3. Play a game! 

We also may do a variety of different games to reinforce learning such as Kahoot, guessing games, matching games etc. 

This is an ongoing class. Because this class naturally provides a multilevel approach to teaching spelling, it is appropriate for many different levels of phonics skills. We begin each class creating smaller words, and then switch out letters to create decodable words. We will discuss the phonics patterns, vowel teams and stretch out the sounds to listen for and apply phonetic spelling. 

Below is the class schedule which shows the letters needed for the lesson. The spelling patterns vary weekly and are taught in a spiral review pattern.

This spelling class is a great way to help 1st, 2nd & 3rd graders connect phonemic awareness (the sounds you hear in a word) to phonics (the letters that represent the sounds). This will not only help your child become a better reader and word decoder, but also a better speller and writer! 

This class cannot be taken in a vehicle as it is very hands on. You may want to use the pause feature or watch the recording at a later date if you are unable to be home for class. PLEASE reach out if you have any questions! I am happy to help!
