***This is part 1 of our writing sentences class. These classes do NOT need to be completed in sequential order, as they do not build upon one another. You're welcome to take the classes in any order that you like.*** Little learners can be ready to take the next big step with just a bit of help! In this one time class, Ms. Katie will help your young reader/writer to experience the satisfaction and confidence of writing complete sentences. We'll begin each class by reading the first sentence and practicing spelling each word out loud. While this is not a spelling class, this will set the ground work for future spelling lessons. We'll then move on to tracing the letters and writing the sentences. This process will continue, sentence by sentence, until the lesson is complete. We'll practice these sentences using two different methods: 1) A hand-out will be provided for you to print that will have that day's sentences written in dotted font. This way, letter forms and spacing will continue to be re-enforced. 2) Ms. Katie will write the sentences along with your learners using a white board. So, we'll be practicing copy work, as well as tracing. Throughout each class, Ms. Katie will monitor the needs and each learner and tailor the class accordingly. This means that there may be times when the last sentence is not completed. That's ok! It's much better to do part, and do it well, than to struggle through it all just to say we finished the handout. There are two ongoing versions of this class: This is the link for the class that is more advanced that this class: https://outschool.com/classes/writing-short-sentences-for-littles-ongoing-IQjIUIXi?usid=y4kB3rT9&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link Here is the more simple version of the classes, featuring CVC words and simple sight words: https://outschool.com/classes/writing-short-sentences-cvc-and-simple-sight-words-ongoing-jU9BhJ9F?usid=y4kB3rT9&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Pensacola Christian College
Hello! I hope to have you join me in my classroom! I have a degree in education and have taught first and second grade and high school English in a private school. For the last 8 years, I have homeschooled my own children, which included teaching each of them to read. From the very beginning, we found that a strong phonics foundation was the key to reading success. This is the method that will be used in my classroom. Hope to see you soon so we can practice our reading skills together!
