Succeed to READ! | Beginning Reading

In this one time class, I will show you how to READ! That's right, if you have a basic knowledge of the letter sounds, I can show you how to blend and read real words! I will also teach you special sounds (digraphs and diphthongs).

Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 1
Reading is easy when you break it down to just a few simple steps.  

Step 1:  Learn the letter sounds

Step 2:  Learn the vowel sounds well.  After all, every word must have one (or more)!

Step 3:  Learn how to blend the sound together.  Begin with two and then three; then you're on your way!

Step 4:  Learn the special sounds.  (The official name is digraphs and diphthongs.)

Step 5:  Practice!

That's it!  

Reading is really simple and I'd love to show your how in this high paced and fun class!

This class is perfect for beginning readers.  Your child will benefit most if he or she already knows the letter sounds.  However, we will review those in class, so don't worry if your child needs a refresher.  

This class includes FREE Vowel People stick puppets.  The neat thing about the flashcards is the letter/s are incorporated into a picture with a story for easy retention. 

I have been teaching reading for over twenty years!  I have also taught ESL students how to read English and am TESOL certified.  I can't wait to teach your child too!

Learning Goals

Students will review phonics skills, practice blending, and read CVC words.
