Learn to Read Through Phonics With Mrs. Rose: This on-going, full year curriculum class based on the Science of Reading, will begin with instruction of letters and sounds. It is appropriate for learners who are ready for preschool/kindergarten as well as ESL learners. While each class builds upon the next class, learners may join at anytime. There is a continuous review of previously taught skills. 

1️⃣. Introducing Letter Sounds, students will learn the sounds and symbols of the alphabet with an emphasis on the sounds the letter symbol makes. Each lesson we will introduce and review the letter sounds taught previously. By modeling on and off screen, students will practice building words and reading.  Students will be exposed to oral language practice for phonemic awareness (recognition and play with sounds), fine motor skills to increase writing ability, and beginning phonics skills to read short vowel words. (Students may use their own paper or white board for the writing portion.) 

***In order for me to assist your child while reading, cameras ARE REQUIRED to be turned ON during class. I need to be able to see their mouths and how they are forming the sounds in words.*** 

**Schedule is subject to change (slightly) due to the progress of the students.***
