Individualized twice a week All About Reading Lessons for levels 1-4.   A great class option for students and siblings.  *Please message me to arrange classes.

Level 1 students will need to have some experience with the alphabet.  Students do not need to know all of the letters but they should be able to identify most of them.  For example: A says /a/ (short a), C says /k/, etc.  (If they still forget a few that's fine.  We will be practicing them as we learn to read).  

Classes will begin with a phonogram (letter) review.  After review, a new concept will be introduced and we will do activities to reinforce the current lesson.  Activities may include additional stories, games, videos, and songs.  Students will be practicing: Letters & Sounds, Blending, Decoding, Sight Words, Word Families, Rhyming, and Comprehension.   

Most weeks will follow this weekly schedule:
 Day 1 concept practice
 Day 2 read a story

**Please have your student bring their reader on story days***

On days we are not in class, please spend 10-20 minutes reviewing the AAR lesson materials.  The student packet includes phonograms, words to practice, pages to practice reading, and game activity pages.  I suggest using the activities with your student on days we do not meet to reinforce the lesson.  Additionally, please read the stories with your child after we have completed them in class.  During most story lessons we will read one of the lesson stories.  Please have your learner read the second story and reread the story we practiced in class.  Rereading stories is a great way to practice fluency.  

*Most of our activities will be done online.  Occasionally, we will work on activity pages from the activity book.  Activities may need to be cut out to play.  (A few activities need to be glued or stapled).  You can cut out the activities before class if you would like your student to use their own during class.  I will also show the activities through my desk camera or Google Drive so it is not necessary to cut these out before class.  

Sometimes during class, we may color or write letters.  I will sometimes send out a color or writing page before class.  Please have any printouts, pencils, and markers/crayons/colored pencils available during class.  Any printouts will be found in the classroom messages.  You will receive an email notice when this occurs. 

Students will need to have purchased their own copy of the curriculum before class.  Required materials include: the student packet and the 3 readers.  Here is a link to the curriculum:  https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com 

You may be able to find materials on Ebay or Rainbow Resource Center (I suggest ordering the color edition if you order from someplace other than AAR). https://www.rainbowresource.com/category.jhtm?cid=2392

**Policy**
Per Outschool policy, if a student is more than 10 minutes late, it will be considered a missed class and not eligible for a refund.  If no students have arrived at a class by 12 minutes after the start time I will end the class. If a student needs to cancel class, I will offer a reschedule when possible or issue a refund, as long as I am notified more than 24 hours in advance. In the case of a teacher scheduling conflict, I will offer to reschedule the class or issue a refund for the missed class. 
Thank you so much for respecting my time. :o)
