Whether your child is a proficient reader and great at spelling or a struggling reader who has difficulty with spelling, this class will help reinforce what they know and support them on their learning journey. This course targets a different second-grade spelling pattern each week with fun activities in our once-a-week live meeting and optional supplementary activities throughout the week.

After brief introductions, we will begin class by looking at and reading a short story together. Students will try to find the words in the story that fit the week’s spelling rule.

Then students will look at a group of pictures to look for words that fit the week’s spelling rule.

They will then practice spelling and reading words with the week's rule using slides I share from my screen.

Next, students will complete the spelling worksheet of the week (also displayed on my screen). If you are not able to print it out before class, students will still be able to participate by writing on any sheet of paper they have at home.

If there is time, students will complete a sorting activity to sort pictures and/or words that do and do not fit the spelling pattern. 

We will end class with a game for students to identify the words that are spelled correctly or incorrectly. 

After class, I will post optional supplementary activities that parents may use at home to extend their child's learning throughout the week. Please note, these activities are offered as an extension to our live meeting and will not be graded by the teacher. However, I will be available to answer any questions or concerns throughout the week via Outschool messages. Parents may choose to use all, some, or none of these activities. These optional videos and activities can be watched, paused, and restarted at any time after they're posted to match your child's needs for pacing:

 1. A video where I read dictation sentences for students to write, along with an answer key,
 2. A self-checking interactive presentation to check for comprehension of the meaning of the words,
 3. A video where I read ten spelling words and use them in a sentence for students to take a spelling test, along with an answer key, and
 4. A spelling Kahoot challenge to find the words that are spelled correctly.

This course will cover 30 different second grade spelling patterns over 30 weeks (October-May). The target spelling pattern is listed in the syllabus.

CLASS POLICIES
-----------------
LATE ARRIVALS: I understand that sometimes your child may need to arrive late to class. Please remind your child to sign on quietly without interrupting class to respect the teacher and those who are already in class. I will greet your child when there is a natural stop in whatever we are doing at the time and involve them in the class.

MISSED CLASS: Sometimes students have to miss one of the days for various reasons, but there is no refund for those missed days. The class recording will be available so that your child can watch the playback.
