This single class is designed for young emergent readers. The story is about a boy named Tom who is playing with his toys, and has colorful and engaging illustrations. All resources and activities are online, so students can clearly see the text and visuals. I adapt my teaching to meet the needs of my learners, so each session is unique to that group. In this class students will… • Sing a warm-up song to introduce the topic and vocabulary. • Play a word-reading game with fun visuals and sound effects • Read a short story focusing on the target phonics skill. • Use the whiteboard to write words with the target sound If your child has a small whiteboard, please have it ready (with a marker and eraser) for a spelling game. If you do not have a whiteboard, don't worry. We can play the game another way. The activities align with Common Core standards: Consonant sounds CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3.a Short vowel sounds CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3.b Segment sounds CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.2.d CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.2.c Compare sounds in words CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3.d CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.2.d Blend sounds to read words CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.2.b Sight words CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3.g Fluency CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.4
