Class Experience

US Grade 1

Beginner Level

In this ongoing weekly class, students will review foundational reading skills that are taught in 1st Grade.  You will see weekly topics listed in the Class Syllabus, BUT these classes will have a lot of review of skills, so your student can join in at any time! 

This class is perfect for students who:
🔵 Are ENTERING first grade and want to get a head start on their reading skills.
🔵 Students who have FINISHED first grade but would benefit from a little extra practice. 

I love to teach foundational reading concepts in fun and engaging ways such as word building activities, reading games and interactive grade level texts. 

For each class, I will review a combination of skills in each category, students will do an activity/practice the skills with the class, then the students will have an opportunity to do individual practice. 

After each class I will post additional resources and activities that students can work on throughout the week to practice the skills until we meet again.

Providing positive reinforcement is very important to me while I am teaching my classes! I want students to feel successful and be able to practice their reading skills in a positive and fun environment! I will give your learner specific and positive feedback so that they can fix mistakes if needed and celebrate their successes! 

I hope to see your child in class soon!
