❤️ Level 2 Phonics Fun - Blends for Beginners is designed for young learners who already know one sound for each letter and need guidance as they practice 1-word phonetic reading with short vowel sounds and blends.

Via screen-sharing: 
1️⃣ 🎶 with an original slideshow we sing a letter-sound song for the entire alphabet, then sing the ABC Song!

2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce eight colorful photos, focusing on names and descriptions.

3️⃣ 🔡 I engage each learner in turn while demonstrating the Montessori color-coded alphabet with phonetic letter sounds and photos. We sound out and discuss phonetic words such as "dig," "frogs" and "sunset." 

4️⃣ 📝 Using the dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word twice while saying the letter sounds.

5️⃣ 📖 Learners take turns to read a label, use their word in a sentence, and observe as I match each label with a picture. Fun discussion is included!

6️⃣ 🎉 I guide a fun cooperative BINGO game, emphasizing picture description, conversation and letter sounds.

😊 My teaching style is warm, attentive and patient. This class is similar to a Montessori classroom experience; a small group of mixed-age learners with a shared enthusiasm for vocabulary, letter sounds, conversation, and learning to read!
