**This class is for beginner learners who have mastered the 26 sounds of the alphabet and  are ready to begin blending letters and reading words and sentences in this class.**

Learners will read, spell, and write three sight words each week. Sight words will help bridge the gap to reading fluency. There are some sight words that can be phonetically blended/decoded such as "him, and, in, it" while there are other sight words that cannot such as "the, to, no, said, she, he." An equal balance of repetition and variety in our learning are important components to fully grasp new concepts. Afterwards, a new list of spelling words of different topics such as colors, numbers, shapes, word families, or digraph words will be introduced weekly. We will practice reading and rhyming with the spelling words of the week. Lastly, we will practice reading sentences using a combination of spelling words and sight words that we have been learning in class together and create and write our own sentence using a word from our spelling word list or one of our focus sight words.

Worksheets will be made available in the classroom page for parents/guardians to print for learners to use during the class.  Additional enrichment worksheets may be available for learners to complete outside of the classroom. Learners may also write on white or lined paper if unable to print worksheets. Colors and pencils can be used for the class. A dry erase whiteboard and dry erase markers are a welcomed option for your learner to use during class. I look forward to having your learner join and begin their journey to reading success!
