Week 1 - closed syllables (happen, sudden, rabbit) Week 2 - open syllables (robot, hero, silent) Week 3 - silent e (vowel-consonant - silent e syllable) Week 4 - r- controlled vowels er (pattern, shepherd) Week 5 - r- controlled vowels ar (carpet, arcade) Week 6 - r-controlled vowels or (ornate, torrent, generator) week 7- soft c words (cider, celebrate) week 8 - soft g words (ginger, apologize) Week 9 -oy and oi words (loyal, oyster, toilet) Week 10 - ay and ai words Week 11 - other long a words week 12 - aw and au words Week 13 - ow and ou words Week 14 - ew, ue, oo, ui (counterview, virtue, afternoon, wetsuit) Week 15 - New Syllable c+le (le words) (steeple, bubble) Week 16 - oa, ow, and oe Week 17 - ou, ough, old, ost Week 18 - three ways to make the /er/ sound and suffix tion (reservation) Week 19 - short u (closed door, ou, and oo) and suffix cious (subconscious, country, weatherproof) Week 20 - ie as long I and as long e (dignified, grievance) After the lesson, we will practice spelling words with that rule, and then have a time of review where they write sentences using rules from past lessons. The sentences will have high-frequency words in them that will help them learn to spell words that are used often. If you have an older child that struggles with spelling, this will be a great class for them. Every child will be participating by using their own whiteboard and have a chance to show their work. We will also focus on using capital letters, periods, and other punctuation marks when writing a sentence.

Hi, I'm Rachel Capes! 🌟
I have an Early Childhood Degree and a Master's in Literacy. I spent 12 amazing years teaching 4th and 5th graders, and Kindergarten SPED in public schools. I even got to be a math and literacy coach!
Now, I homeschool my four wonderful kids. One is gifted, two are right where they should be, and one has a learning disability. This time at home has given me a deeper understanding of all learning styles.
I believe learning should be hands-on and fun! Kids should be excited about math and reading.
In math, we use manipulatives, drawing, and algorithms to make learning engaging. When we meet more than once, kids get to share how they solved problems and explain their thinking.
In reading, we dive into books, discuss vocabulary, explore literary elements, analyze characters and plots, and make predictions. Everyone gets to share their thoughts and opinions while respecting others'.
I love to read, be outdoors with my kids, and this year we're learning to garden together. 🌱
I also teach World History and Geography at an accredited homeschool group.
Let's make learning an adventure! 🎉📚✨Reviews
