Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
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!

Week 1:  -at: cat, hat, mat, sat, rat
Week 2:  -en: pen, hen, ten, men, when
Week 3:  -it: sit, hit, kit, bit, quit
Week 4:  -op: top, hop, mop, pop, stop
Week 5:  -ug: bug, rug, hug, mug, snug

Class breakdown: 
2-5 Minutes - Welcome, Hello, How was your week?
5-10 Minutes - Introduction to the word family of the week and brainstorming words that have those endings. 
5-10 Minutes - Looking at the word family list that I've created and copy it down. Drawing a picture of one or two (time permitted).
