Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students will review and practice phonics for consonant blends such as "br, fl, st" and double vowel/silent E words such as "bake, rain." A special sound such as a digraph (ch, sh, th) or tri blend ("spl") and vowel pal ("ar" as in star) will be learned every Monday &. Tuesday. Every week, the vowels and their sounds will also be reviewed along with our double vowel reading guidelines. We'll blend two-three consonants with the vowels using our blend ladders and ferris wheel to prepare for reading CCCVC (consonant-consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant) words, like "split", which will be read each week. Students will learn to "DECODE" and read words in this class through phonics. We do not memorize words except for Sight Words/ High Frequency Words. When foundational phonics skills are learned, students learn to love reading! They'll enjoy reading sentences, word families, and short stories in this class. 

Kindergarten and 1st grade students who enroll in this class have a strong foundation with CVC words and double vowel reading word. Students should be able to easily read a sentence like the following:
"He said we must go on a plane to see the west."
If your student needs help reading CVC words, this class Learn to Read CVC Words is a better fit:

If your student needs help reading two vowel words & blends like the example sentence, this Learn to Read Silent E & CCVC is a better fit:

Sight words will be introduced each week with our sight words songs! We practice reading and writing from the Dolch words list which is a common list of the 52 most common words found in Kindergarten &1st grade level children's books. Students will learn to recognize and read sight words through sentences and sight word exercises.

Math skills include identifying and writing numbers of the week. A new math concept will be introduced each week such as counting to 100 by tens, counting to 100 by 5s, skip counting by 2s, adding, subtracting, identifying coins, telling time on the hour, half hour, quarter past, and quarter till, counting with ordinal numbers -1st-10th, patterns, and measurements.

Worksheets will also be made available each week for phonics, sight words, math skills, and writing words. 

This class will have fun songs, chants, and review games. With a max of six students, each student will have an opportunity to engage and answer questions. 

This class is designed for advanced readers who can read CVC, CCVC, silent E,  and double vowel words. 
For example, your student is able to read this sentence: "Jan will make a dress."
