読むことを学ぶ！土曜日のフォニックスベースの読書クラス

In this reading class, I will help your child grow in their reading skills at their own individual reading level.  Whether your child is just beginning to learn their letters and sounds, or if they are developing well in their reading skills, or if they struggle with keeping up with their expected grade level of reading, this class will provide the support, activities and encouragement to help your child grow in their reading.

I will begin the class by getting to know your child a little bit, and then trying to find out their current reading level.  Then I will introduce a "build it" or "switch it" activity.  I will share my screen with your child and give your child the opportunity to build words and switch letters to make new words.  This activity is very helpful in learning letter sounds and how to decode words.

Next, we will move on to a "read it" activity.  I will guide your child through reading words with a decoding strategy and then ask them to write the word on a whiteboard (or paper) while they say the sounds they are writing.  Then, your child will be asked to erase the letters one at a time as they again say the sounds while they erase.  

Then, I will lead the child in a guided reading lesson, where the child will read a story which will give them the opportunity to practice the reading/decoding skills they have just worked on.  I will also be asking some comprehension questions to ensure that the child is comprehending what they are reading.  

 If your child takes a second class with me, then I will begin the second class by giving your child an opportunity to reread the story that we ended the last class with.  This gives the child an opportunity to build their confidence and fluency by rereading a previous text.  And then we will begin the switch it and read it activities with new words!

I also offer an ongoing version of this same class for learners who would like to keep working on their reading with a regular schedule.  If you want more consistency, the ongoing version of this class might be a good option.
