This second part of our ELA course builds on foundational skills from Part 1, guiding learners to advance their reading, writing, and phonics abilities while fostering creativity and a lifelong love for literacy.

Teachers will gently guide and prompt learners to work out new or difficult sounds.  Repetition will help solidify the target sounds and fluency. Learners will be encouraged to read in choral reading format (all reading at the same time) to minimize downtime. Reading comprehension will be advanced by engaging, open-ended questions and discussions. Learners will be encouraged to share their work but not obliged. 

PDF copies of the lesson will be available 24 hours prior to the lesson start to print. Learners may bring them to class to read and write with, or they may use a notebook, paper, or whiteboard.
