Listo para leer y escribir

This six week class is for first or second graders who struggle to remember sight words, decode short vowel words, and is falling behind with using first and second grade reading strategies.  We will use first grade phonics, reading strategies, & writing skills to close learning gaps! 

We follow a year-long Language Arts curriculum in a small-group setting. This class addresses reading fluency by building on 1st and 2nd grade sight words. Learners will practice how to self correct using proper decoding  strategies. 

Learners will listen and follow as I model reading aloud. Then we will re-read text together. Learners will make mini-books  and practice rereading  their books. 

Even if your child has gone up a reading level, but you are worried about them regressing during summer break. This class is for you.

This class is perfect for a learner who is beginning to recognize some HFW.  At the beginning of each class we will practice pre-reading skills / Reading Readiness - letter recognition, phonological awareness, oral language, and handwriting
Decoding, Fluency, and Accuracy.

This phonics based program directly teaches the essential phonics structures that unlock the English code in simple and complex words, working on foundational reading skills

We will read passages that includes a lesson plan, passage, reading response questions and running record. Parents can print and copy each reading passage for continued practice after class. In addition, my students love getting the opportunity to draw and label a picture for after reading,.

Parents can help by following the plan that is the same plan I follow when using these passages. This will help your learner read the stories better on their own! To add some fun, learners enjoy using whisper phones to make reading more exciting, as they practice reading fluently :) 

Overall, reading the passages should help build your child’s confidence and help them become better readers! Our passages also include some bold words, exclamation points and question marks to help students add expression while they read. My students have not only loved these passages, but they also have been very successful reading these passages and I hope yours do too!

I use the running record (two to a page to save paper) to check in on how my students are doing. I generally will assess my
students with these running records so that I have a score for each student every other week. If students are scoring at the instructional level based on their percentage correct, then I continue using these passages until they reach the Independent score. (I usually make sure they get two scores of independent before moving on just for extra practice.)
