In this level 1 reading workshop, students will identify and practice reading key word families through a four R's strategy:
1) Recognition
2) Repetition
3) Relevance
4) Reading

🔑 This word families workshop is a great way to extend Kindergarten reading fluency, develop and challenge 1st grade, and strengthen and build on foundational reading skills for 2nd. 
This is an ongoing class, fixed in a 10-week scheduled loop due to skill patterns and slight increase in difficulty. 
This workshop will meet 1x/week for 30 minutes, for 10 weeks. Feel free to enroll your learner at any time. Likewise for un-enrollment if you believe that another reading workshop or level is more appropriate for your learner. 

Please feel free to ask questions.

Thank you!

Class Routine:
1) Recognize: Students will be introduced to a common word family of 2-letters and recognize which words out of a group belong to this word family. Students will recognize word families in short stories.
2) Repeat: Students will sort words according to their word families. Students will practice keeping their word family the same and changing the other letters to form new words. 
3) Relate: Students will reflect on the word and its connection to their experiences. Students will have the opportunity to share their relation to the word.
4) Read: Students will read rhyming words and create a list as a whole class of words that belong to each of today's 3 word families. This is a great reference for students to practice what they've learned at home.


*This workshop is designed for learners who are at a developing intermediate reader level, level 1- level 2. Students should have existing knowledge of alphabet letter names, sounds, and early sight words/high frequency words (can be found by grade level for free online).
