6～7歳向けの読み書き、スペル、語彙、文法の毎日のスキル練習

🌟  Your child will spend 20 minutes every day Monday through Friday practicing reading, spelling, and grammar skills and adding a new vocabulary word to their written and spoken vocabulary.  

🕰  Breakdown of each 20-minute live class session:

     📖 Reading practice: During each class meeting, students will be presented with single syllable and multi-syllable words to decode. Students will use Zoom's annotate feature to mark where syllables are and where there are instances of multiple letters representing one sound. The goal of this activity is for students to become masters of breaking longer words down into smaller, more manageable parts. 

Each student will choose words to decode. The words students choose from vary in difficulty so that all skill levels in this age range can be challenged. Students may opt to watch and take notes on how the words are broken down rather than annotating on screen. This word attack process is modeled at the beginning of every class period so that students know what is expected of them. 


       📝  Vocabulary and Spelling: During this part of our daily meeting, a new vocabulary word will be introduced and students will discuss how they could use it in their written and spoken language. Students will learn how to spell it by using phonemic awareness. The optional homework activity is to write a creative sentence using the word of the day and post it to the classroom to share with the class. 


     🖊  Grammar and usage practice: Students will use the annotate feature to proofread sentences with spelling, grammar, and usage errors. Students may opt to write the corrected sentences on their own paper or whiteboard, then check their work as screen annotation is occurring. 

Due to the fact that a different vocabulary word and a different set of multi-syllable word attack words will be used each day, every class meeting will cover new content but in the same predictable format. 

****PLEASE NOTE: The use of Zoom's annotate feature is HIGHLY recommended for this class! Learners who are not familiar with using the annotate feature are strongly advised to practice using it before class starts. The annotate feature is currently not available on Chromebooks. This class is more fun and interactive when the annotate feature is used so if a device other than a Chromebook is available, that would be the best choice for participating in class.
