ニコール先生によるガイド付き読書

In this class, students will practice various reading skills needed for Kindergarten and first grade. The students will practice reading high frequency words (sight words), blending sounds, and other techniques that will help them learn to read successfully. These skills will be taught using slides, songs, games, videos, and reading passages/books. Each time that we meet, we will practice in the order below to keep consistency going. 
First, review letter sounds, blends, or digraphs. Then, we will practice reading and using sight words in sentences. We will discuss/review reading strategies to help students when they get stuck on unknown words. Lastly, each student will practice reading a reading passage. If students are reading a book, they will make predictions, answer questions to help with comprehension, and sometimes go on story walks to help the reading make more sense. Students will get assistance reading as necessary while they are reading their passage. We won't start with books right away. Students will begin with reading short passages and gradually moving on to reading pages in books.
Through email, I will also provide parents with some materials to help their child practice the skills worked on during class. This way parents can help reinforce what was learned while not in class. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this course.
