In this ongoing class that meets twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays,  young children will practice pronouncing letter sounds and words. Each lesson can stand on its own, meaning that any child can enroll at any time. This class is perfect for children who have difficulty saying certain words and phonemes. I have a very flexible teaching style and I encourage children to use their creative abilities when drawing. Children will have fun drawing and expressing the concept subjects presented. The first five minutes of the class will be devoted to introductions, saying hello, the day of the week, etc. Twenty minutes will be devoted to instruction, modeling correct pronunciation, writing, and drawing, and the last five minutes of the class will be the closure. 

We will be using Google slides to reinforce the concepts presented.

Below is a tentative list of themes and lessons. I use differentiation according to the individual needs of the student.
