Join us as we have fun learning to read with the All About Reading Program!  
  
This course will work through Level 2 of All About Reading (AAR).  Level 2 students will need to have completed Level 1 or have placed in Level 2 on the All About Reading website (https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/reading-placement).   

Classes will begin with a phonogram (letter) review.  After review, a new concept will be introduced and we will do activities to reinforce the current lesson.  Activities may include additional stories, games, videos, and songs.  Students will be practicing: Letters & Sounds, Blending, Decoding, Sight Words, Word Families, Rhyming, and Comprehension.  Level 2 AAR includes 57 lessons.

On days we are not in class, please spend 10-20 minutes reviewing the AAR lesson materials.  The student packet includes pages to practice reading and game activity pages.  I suggest using the activities with your student on days we do not meet to reinforce the lesson.  

*Activity pages will need cut out to play.  (A few activities need to be glued or stapled).  You can cut out the activities before class if you would like your student to use their own materials during class.  I will also show the activities through my desk camera, Genially slides, or Google Drive so it is not necessary to cut these out before class.  

Sometimes during class, we may color or write letters.  I will sometimes send out a color or writing page before class.  Please have any printouts, pencils, and markers/crayons/colored pencils available during class.  Any printouts will be found in the classroom messages.  After each class, I will post a review of what the class covered.  If the student needs a printout or cut-out activity from the student workbook for the next class, that information will be posted in the prior class review. 

Students will need to have purchased their own copy of the curriculum before class.  You do not need to purchase the full curriculum, but you will need to the student packet and the 2 readers.  Here is a link to the curriculum:   https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-reading-level-2/

You may be able to find materials on Ebay or Rainbow Resource Center (I suggest ordering the color edition if you order from someplace other than AAR). https://www.rainbowresource.com/category.jhtm?cid=2392 

***This class requires a minimum of 3 students.  If the minimum is not met, the students can choose private lessons ($29 per lesson) or a small group class ($50 per week).

If you have questions about All About Reading or need help selecting a level please message me.
