US Grade Kindergarten - 2
Are you interested in helping your learner boost their vocabulary and strengthen reading skills at the same time? Come explore this weekly ongoing class to improve your learner's vocabulary, using Wordly Wise Book 1.
What will your learner do?
Each week we will meet to learn as set of new words. There are 10 words per lesson and we will focus on gaining the meaning of those words through concept cards that provide a visual representation of each word. Learners will use visual and auditory skills to listen to a story that use the weekly words to further student understanding.
I love to engage learners with a variety of activities and games to make the learning process fun and help them remember the words! We will use writing, movement, reading, and speaking to practice our words!
Please see the list of passage titles at the end of the course description.
As a licensed teacher with almost 20 years of teaching experience, I try to help students make connections with the words and find helpful ways to remember their meanings.
Is there Homework?
Assignments will be provided as an optional activity for families who wish their learner to complete additional work with the weekly words. I am happy to review and check any complete assessment after our weekly class. Feedback will be provided to the family via the Outschool message platform.
I hope you are ready to love words as much as I do!
