Hello, I'm so glad you found one of my classes! This class will focus on understanding phonics patterns and decoding unknown words with those patterns. If this is your first class with me, the initial lesson will focus on developing a positive student-teacher-parent relationship. This includes identifying student interests, strengths, and areas of growth. There will also be discussion between the guardian and myself regarding class goals. Lesson structure: 1. Warm-up by playing a sound game 2. Vowel intensive drill (if needed) 3. Visual drill (saying the sounds of each phonics pattern) 4. Blending drill (blending sounds into words) 5. Introduce a new phonics pattern 6. Read words in isolation 7. Read sentences/passages Additional work outside the class is not required. However, I would highly recommend reading outside of class. The fee for this class is based on teacher expertise, live instructional time, as well as time spent preparing specific lessons and materials for your child. There will be additional practice opportunities sent home. I believe in a positive parent-teacher relationship. Therefore, I encourage communication between us. Following each session. a follow-up message will be sent to share how the session went. This includes the skills we worked on and an additional reinforcement activity. Please contact me through my business website for reduced pricing and class options not available through Outschool. https://impactliteracytutoring.tutorbird.com/home (Copy and paste URL into browser)
