Evaluación
Throughout the course, we do recommend that you book separate 1:1 reading assessments every 6-8 weeks to make sure your child is on par with the program, and if they're not, your assessment teacher can point you in the right direction on what to work on at home. Please schedule that assessment using this link: 📅https://outschool.com/classes/11-student-assessment-xxqyURdf?usid=eTXGXV4M&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link

Experiencia de clase

Nivel de inglés - Pre-A1
Grado de EE. UU. Kindergarten
Nivel Beginner
Reading Can Be Puzzling: Kindergarten is a cumulative course for learners who are not yet reading independently, but are familiar with letter sounds, blending CVC words such as "cat", "bed", and "hug", and knows some sight/high frequency words such as "the", "some" "an" etc. If your child has letter sounds down, but can't read books independently yet, this is the course for them!


I N  T H I S  C O U R S E:
We will cover kindergarten reading concepts including:

We will learn:
✅Letter Sounds (Phonemes)
✅Blending and Orthographic Mapping
✅Sight and High Frequency Words
✅Long Vowels Using the "Bossy /e/" Rule
✅Some Digraphs and Diphthongs
✅Beginner Fluency
✅Linear Reading

Learners will also work on fluency and comprehension by reading and practicing booklets that go with each lesson as well as decodables.



T E A C H I N G  S T Y L E:

⭐Our teaching style at Shields Scholars is light-hearted and fun. 
⭐We use Nearpod for this course, which is an interactive app for the lesson content. 
This way, kids not only learn via visual and auditory learning, they get to learn kinesthetically as well since they are physically involved in the lesson with simple games such as matching, drawing, memory tests, drag & drop features, and everyone's favorite - Time to Climb. Time to Climb is an interactive quiz where each child chooses a character for the game and as they answer questions correctly, their character races other students to the top of a mountain. First one to the top wins. 
⭐You can find a parent demo Nearpod lesson below under the "Materials" section to use for free to see if this would be something your child would like.



R E A D I N G  A S S E S S M E N T S:

Students do not need to have prior knowledge of reading to enroll into this course. However, if you're not sure if your child is a complete beginner or would do well jumping into the "Reading Can Be Puzzling: 1st Grade" course, we can always do a reading assessment to make sure we put them into the proper course for their abilities. 

If you do not know your child's current reading level, you can schedule a 1:1 reading assessment with Ms. Cassie here:

Otros detalles

Necesidades de aprendizaje
There is nothing specifically making this course ADHD friendly, however I have taught students who have ADHD and they did really well! The interactivity of Nearpod was always their favorite part and there were much less fits about class.
Orientación para padres
This class uses NearPod, which is a separate online resource. **NearPod is necessary for your learner to participate in this course!** Parents and/or guardians, please read the classroom announcements page prior to class to get your learner set up before class begins. Your learner may also need help throughout the lesson to complete the games and use the features, at least at the beginning of the course. This class is for young learners who may not fully understand how to click on a computer or set up NearPod on their own. All communications will be updated via the classroom page, so please have your notifications turned on. This way Outschool will forward any and all classroom posts to your email so you don't miss any announcements.
Requisitos previos
This course is very beginner and I have had lots of students as young as 3 years old complete it, but age is just a number. If your child does NOT know how to blend CVC words independently and automatically, this is where they need to start

WHAT IS NEARPOD?

NearPod is an interactive, online resource that we use for class. NearPod includes games relevant to the lesson to keep learners engaged the entire time since there is something for them to be focusing on and physically doing every few minutes. This can include little quizzes, matching, drag & drop, drawing, 3D, virtual reality, etc.

Nearpod is COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) compliant.

If available, two devices is ideal for these classes. Most of my students like to have Zoom up on one device and NearPod on a touch device such as a tablet, iPad, or smartphone to make clicking on answers easy for little fingers.

However, two separate devices is NOT necessary to participate if not available!
