Welcome to my engaging online reading class designed specifically for kindergarten, grade 1, and grade 2 students! Join me on a journey of literacy as we explore the fascinating world of word families. Word families, such as -at, -ot, and -it, provide a foundation for young learners to recognize patterns in words, enhancing their reading skills and boosting their confidence. Through interactive activities, games, and exercises, students will develop their phonics knowledge and decoding abilities, unlocking the door to a lifetime of reading success. Enroll now and watch your child's reading abilities flourish!
