UFLI レベル 1 で読み方を学ぶ (Orton Gillingham と UFLI 基礎プログラム)

In this Learn to Read with UFLI Level 1 class, your child will first be assessed to determine a starting level of instruction.  I will conduct a phonics assessment during a 1:1 live class meeting where I can get to know your child and determine a starting level of instruction.

I recommend two sessions per week to see the best results for progression.

Once a starting level is determined, students will begin lessons at that level.  The scope and sequence of this Level 1 class begins with basic letters and sounds, short vowels,  CVC words, digraphs, VCe words and reading longer words with endings such as -es, -ed, -ing, and words with open and closed syllables. 

The curriculum for this Learn to Read with UFLI Level 1 class will include the activities listed below.  This class will include lots of interaction with the teacher, power point slides, games and some brain breaks!  I will post a "homework" sheet that you can do with your child to reinforce skills that we have learned each lesson.  

*Say it and Move It-using Elkonin boxes to say the sounds in CVC words and move the chips into boxes as we say the sounds
*Visual Drill- identify the letter name and say the sound of the letter
*Auditory Drill-teacher says a sound and student writes letter on dry erase board with a focus on letter formation
*Blending Drill-students will say sounds of letters and blend them to say/read the word
*Word Sort-students will sort words based on letter sounds or patterns
*Irregular Words-students will learn special rules for spelling words that are irregular (heart words) and do not follow traditional phonics rules
*Connect with Text-students will read words, sentences and eventually passages and books, answer comprehension questions and have discussions about the text.

My teaching style will incorporate the following method of student engagement:
"I Do"- teacher models lesson (students will watch teacher present lesson)
"We Do" -guided practice (students will do lesson together with teacher)
"You Do"- independent practice (students try the lesson on their own)

I am Orton Gillingham certified teacher and will follow the OG approach while teaching this class including the following criteria.

*Assessment: students will be assessed to determine a starting level of instruction.

*Systematic and Sequential: the content will follow a highly researched scope and sequence  plan that includes constant review of previously taught skills.

*Explicit Instruction:  direct instructions with a high level of teacher/student interaction.

*Multi-Sensory:  students will learn by using their senses including touch and movement.   This will include activities such as sky writing, tracing, use of Play-doh and Pop-Its to say/push sounds, Slinkys to segment and blend words, white boards and dry erase markers, and even our own bodies to tap out sounds that we hear/say in words.

*Diagnostic and Prescriptive: students will be progress monitored on a regular basis to ensure mastery of skills and determine a plan for future instruction.

I am reading teacher with 15 years of experience in the classroom as well as over 10 years of tutoring struggling readers.  I have a passion for teaching reading and helping students become strong, confident readers and I know I can help your child learn to read!
