몬테소리 독서 및 쓰기: 초보 독자를 위한 단어 학습 2회/주

💙 Level 5 Word Study is designed for readers who are learning to read and spell complex words such as ‘firefighter.’ They are mastering many digraphs such as /i-e/ and /-igh/. They want to know more about word categories like 'opposites' and 'compound words.' 

💙 CLASS CONTENT: Each 45-minute session has individual attention, using the mute/unmute button to help learners focus and enjoy full participation! 
Via screen-sharing: 
1️⃣ 🎶 I sing a letter-sound song with a slideshow of pictures/lowercase print letters. The songs reinforce memorization of digraphs such as 'ai' for 'airport.

2️⃣ 🖼️ I introduce 8 colorful photos for a topic such as "synonyms," ('joyful/ecstatic') focusing on names, spellings and descriptions.

3️⃣ 📝 Using the dotted-font word list provided, I demonstrate writing each word twice while spelling the letter names.

4️⃣ 📖 Learners take turns to read a label, describe the picture or use their word in a sentence, and observe as I match each label with a picture. 

5️⃣ 🖼️ 📝 📖 We repeat the same process with another 8 photos: introduction, writing, reading and discussion. 

6️⃣ 🎉 I guide a fun cooperative BINGO game, emphasizing picture description, conversation and correct spelling. 

🥰 My teaching style is warm, attentive and patient. This class is similar to a Montessori classroom experience; a small group of mixed-age learners with a shared enthusiasm for vocabulary, letter sounds, spelling, conversation, and learning to read fluently! 

💙 Each session focuses on reading 16 words in one category
