* Sight words - This is the main focus of the class. Sight words are the best way for the learner to build a 
  working vocabulary to jump start their reading. 
* Phonics
* Writing alphabet letters
* CVC Word families (ran, tan, man, can...etc.)
* Reading simple beginner sentences and stories relying heavily on sight words.
* Socialization and description skills through the end of class Show and Tell session.

* A weekly at-home packet will also be provided every week so that learners can practice what they will be learning in the classroom each week. The packet is sent out on the classroom page at 6:00 am Pacific Time every Sunday. The after-class work is provided as an enhancement to the class, not as a homework requirement. I will leave it up to each parent's discretion if they feel their learners will benefit from the after-class activities.  

My two top priorities are that learners learn their TOP 18 words and that they are able to recognize and read the 6 sight words by the end of the week. For many children this will require some extra practice outside of the classroom. Sight words, by their nature, cannot be sounded out and must, therefore, be memorized by sight. Learning sight words is the fastest way to build learners' reading vocabulary. If you can only manage one thing from the packet please focus on the sight words.

Learners must have a strong understanding of the letters of the English alphabet and their phonetic sounds.

Not required but a set of Dolch or Fry sight words would be handy to help your learners learn the 220 most common sight words. This class will focus on level 1 and 2 cards from this set that can be purchased, if you choose, on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S9R7K89/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

Please print the Top 18 flashcards that is attached to your welcome letter. These 18 words are the most commonly used words in the English language. Practicing with these flashcards at home will really jumpstart your learners reading.
