In this class students will be taught the fundamentals of reading beginning with letters. This class is group class. It is the perfect class for children wanting to get an “jump start” on reading in a public school setting or home school students who are just beginning to read. It can also serve as a refresher for students who are struggling with reading. Each session will include interactive activities as well as games and additional exercises to help learners practice the things they learn each week. I strive to create a warm and welcoming classroom where student s feel comfortable and are excited to learn. This is a beginner class for students who have never read before or who are just getting started and need a little additional help. We will work on learning letters and sound correspondence, phonological and phonemic awareness, high frequency words, decodable texts, leveled texts and reading comprehensions.

Each class will be specific to the student’s needs but this is an example of typical topics covered each week.
Week #1 - Uppercase letters
Week #2 - Lowercase letters
Week #3 - Letter Sounds
Week #4 - Short A
Week #5 - Short O
Week #6 - Short U
Week #7 - Short I
Week #8 - Short E

Worksheets will also be included each week.
