This includes hearing and manipulating sounds within words. Students need to have strong phonological awareness skills to become successful readers. We will then review previous learned letters and sounds. Students will learn new letters in each course to include the letter name, sound, and proper handwriting strokes. We will sing songs together, play interactive games, and use multi-sensory approaches. during our lessons together! This course includes letter exploration, phonological awareness, handwriting, and letter introduction.
