US Grade 3 - 6
We begin each class with a quick lesson and possibly some fun Boom cards to help them see the rule. After each lesson, students will put their new spelling skills into action! We'll practice spelling words that follow the day's rule, then reinforce learning with a sentence-building activity. Using high-frequency words, students will write sentences that incorporate spelling patterns from past lessons—helping them master commonly used words while strengthening their overall writing skills. This class is designed with the Orton-Gillingham approach in mind, making it an excellent fit for older children who struggle with spelling. The structured lessons will help them build confidence and retention. Every child will actively participate using their own whiteboard, getting hands-on practice and immediate feedback.

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! 🎉📚✨
