✨ What's coming up this week: ✨

🗓️Nov 18-22
Skill: Letter Mm (Letter Name, Sound, and Formation)

🥳 Welcome to our small reading group class, Early Reading Beginners, for kindergarten and first grade! 

In this class, learners will be introduced to early reading skills using:
🎧 phonological awareness games
📖 high-quality decodable sentences & passages
📝 activity pages to practice the phonics skills

🗓️ Each week, we’ll have a different phonics skill that we’ll explore together. 
We’ll have opportunities to read together and practice the skills we’re learning in fun, active ways. 

🏫 Class size will be kept small to provide individualized instruction. Each student will have a chance to practice reading with the teacher's assistance. 

📚 This class is perfect for learners in kindergarten or first grade. We will start by learning/reviewing letter sounds, and then start learning to blend letter sounds together to make CVC words. We'll eventually be able to start reading full sentences as well! 

🗒️ Note: I will include a mixture of my own created content and some decodables and activities will be from resources I have purchased. The stories included will be on a kindergarten/first grade reading level.
