In this ongoing first grade class, learners will join us 4 times a week (M-TH) with our all-in-one curriculum including phonics, sight words, spelling, reading, writing and grammar. 

We call this class The ‘Fun’ in Fundamental English! In this ongoing class, learners will meet four times a week for a thorough language arts curriculum. 


This class covers the foundation of the English language. In this class, learners will learn the concept of compound words, contractions, and basic spelling rules. Spelling three and four letter words that include a short vowel sound.

Suitable for children in grade 1, every week we will be covering the following categories: Literature, Foundational Skills, Reading, Grammar and Writing so that students can easily grasp and retain core principles. This class is sure to keep young learners coming back for more. 

There will be some fun worksheets, discussion, games and lots of visual prompts throughout this interactive class to engage learners!
