Our First Grade Reading class will emphasize the importance of going beyond knowing the alphabet and provide lessons like consonant blends. Each class meeting will cover different reading types and topics to keep things engaging and informative for learners. By the end of this class, you’ll be equipped with the skills to read the absolute best a first grader can be expected to read! 

Teaching Approach: My teaching approach is interactive and student-centered. I believe in learning by doing, so each lesson will include practical exercises and real-world examples.
