Ortografía basada en fonética de tercer grado: listas y pruebas semanales, adaptadas a la dislexia, en curso

What parents have said about this class:

🙌🏻  "Miss Paula's spelling class has really helped our daughter improve her spelling.  Miss Paula's communication with parents is excellent, and I think she's done a great job welcoming new students midstream while helping the other kids retain the progress they've already made."

"The teacher uses multiple ways to learn the spelling of words!"

🌟  Instruction follows the Phono-Graphix method for teaching reading and spelling which was developed with students with Dyslexia in mind. The Phono-Graphix method is very similar to Orton-Gillingham and is based on the science of reading.

🤓 Research shows that repetitive practice with new skills helps us learn information faster and retain it longer. Practice sessions should be spread out over a week or more to be most effective. That's why this class has three meetings over the course of a week to ensure that the words are not only learned but retained long-term. 

🌟 This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays each week. Due to the nature of the weekly activities, it is best to start this class on a Monday.

📝 Students will be assigned a weekly spelling list of 20 words at the beginning of each week. During live classes, we will discuss patterns in the words and spelling rules as they apply. A list of 20 words will be provided, as well as 5 bonus words to meet the needs of a wide range of skill levels. 

📝 Students will be expected to participate by writing the spelling words as modeled and trying different ways to study the words using colors and shapes. We will also discuss proper usage and share creative work. 

📝 Students will learn to divide words into "chunks" (similar to syllables) and segment each chunk to identify all the sounds in the words. Learners will use a color and shape coding system as a study tool to focus on sounds spelled with more than one letter.

📝 Homework assignments will be given at the end of the first and second live classes. 

📝 Students can expect a low-pressure spelling test during our Friday class period. Each week a new list will be assigned. 

👀 Learners will need to know the sounds of all the letters of the alphabet, as well as letter combinations like: sh, th, ch, and ck.

🔥 Enjoy access to our new AI "Student Room" where students can use AI to make reading and writing more interactive. Chat with your favorite book character, get writing ideas, write a song from your lesson word lists, or engage in an epic rap battle with your favorite character or famous person in history!
