Diversión 3 veces por semana: clases de inglés (ESL/ELA) individuales en lectura, fonética y escritura para niños de 6 a 11 años

Class Experience and Class Availability Times

This class is an ongoing  customizable class that meets three times a week.  This class is based on Spectrum workbooks, and the teacher will assess what grade level the student is best fit. If The teacher feels it is necessary the teacher will also be using Abridge Academy slides and/or Raz-Plus for additional reading support. 

 Although this class is ongoing, the learner will find that this course is structured and will grow with the student's changing needs. This class is for English as a Second Language or a student that needs a little extra help to get their grades up. It is a recommended that  students ages 7-12 take this class. Each class will be 25 minutes long  and is a customized, structured course for each student's needs by using interactive slides and/or working on phonics sounds and vocabulary words with structured curriculum workbooks and applications. 

As well, we will be focusing on reading, writing, and grammar skills, and will learn to create full sentence phrases. The teacher will introduce phonics by using flash cards or a whiteboard, and will have the student repeat several times. We will also practice spelling skills. The teacher will use TPR as much as possible to help enforce learning and the student will be encouraged to copy back. This will be taught by the I do, we do, you do method. The teacher will make corrections when a student makes a mistake. There will be role play in some lessons to help enforce sentences and general responses. If the student struggles, then we will review until the material is mastered.  When a student shows strong skills, the teacher will do extended questions and expand the material. 

During the first lesson, the teacher will perform a placement test for all new students. Please contact the tutor to explain the current level of English of your child or your child's English skills. For younger students, we will have a placement test for phonics and reading. The teacher will be using an interactive program for younger learners, such a Splashlearn or Lalilo,  that will help determine their level in phonics and reading skills. We will then have a variety of easy level classes for reading and comprehension using a variety of workbooks.

If the student is in need of working on more material outside of class. The teacher will assign homework on Splashlearn, Khan Academy Kids, Raz-Plus, esmartclass,  Spelling Shed, and Lalilo. Please know that you will have a create logins (or the teacher will give you a login) to access assignments. By doing these projects and assigned assignments will help enforce learning.  Currently, courses will be for beginner and intermediate levels ONLY. Soon, other lessons will be offered to help older students with more advanced skills to practice and focus on free talk conversations, reading, and everyday life skills. For older students we will use Duolingo Classroom for homework and practice. Again, please note that the parent will have a create a log in for this service to access assignments. Lastly, there will be feedback provides after every class via the conversations tab and the classroom board.
