- listening skills are practiced as students listen to lessons through songs and stories 
- writing skills are practiced as students practice forming letters on provided worksheets

- as the class progresses, students learn more and more sight words (along with their phonics), until they are fluent readers
- numeracy will include: number recognition; skip counting for 10's, 5's, 2's; learning odd & even numbers; along with some adding & subtracting

Homework Offered
Worksheets will be posted in our classroom for each sound and number learned in class. Worksheets can be done during and between classes.
Assessments Offered
I am assessing each learner, every class, to make sure they are understanding and able to apply the knowledge I am teaching. I will accommodate the needs of each student, to develop their understanding of phonics and numbers. For the student who stays with the class long term, they will learn to read and manipulate numbers. At that time, I record the sight words the student have mastered and have an ongoing list of sight words we are working on. (Number understanding is largely learned through games.)
Grades Offered

There are movement breaks in every lesson. Every lesson also included auditory, visual and kinaesthetic learning. I recommend that the learner's envirnoment be quiet with limited distractions for a positive experience for everyone.
