***This course is a flex course. It does not have live meetings. Instead, it relies on videos and posts in the Outschool classroom as the basis of student-teacher interaction.***

This course serves as an introduction to two and three letter sight words for the budding reader. Throughout the four week course, learners will be introduced to and practice identifying, reading, and writing 16 new sight words from the Kindergarten Dolch Sight Word list. 
**Video 1- This video will introduce two (2 letter) sight words for the week. Learners will participate in a movement activity to practice spelling our two new words. After we have practiced spelling the words out loud, we will work on writing them. 

**Video 2- This video will introduce two (3 letter) sight words for the week. It will have follow the same format as video one. A worksheet will be provided in the classroom for students to use (while watching videos one and two) to practice tracing and writing the sight words on their own. Please post a picture of the completed worksheet to the classroom so that I can track your learners progress and give feedback. 

**Video 3- This video will lead learners in a guided review of the four new sight words that were introduced in videos one and two. A worksheet will be provided in the classroom for learners to use as we go through our guided review together. 

***Video 4- Weekly Challenge: Let's Read to Each Other!
Video 4 will introduce our book of the week. Each book we make during this four week course will use a simple sentence frame highlighting one of our sight words of the week. The goal of completing our weekly book challenge is to get our budding readers reading! Using a simple, repetitive sentence frame with familiar words and picture cues will help build reading confidence. In Video 4 I will read the book aloud and we will work together to identify sight words on each page. After watching the video, learners should color the pictures on each page and then practice reading their book to friends and family! As part of the weekly Let's Read Challenge learners are asked to take an audio or video recording of themselves reading the story and post it to the classroom as a way for us to read to each other. 

**Video 5-This video will provide directions for completing a culminating activity for the week. The activities will vary from week to week but may include things such as rainbow writing, sight word search and find, or roll and cover. 

Game Time!! (for additional practice): 
At the end of each week a link to an interactive Kahoot game will be posted. While playing this game learners will practice listening to and identifying the correct spelling of our four new sight words. As the weeks go on there will be options to play a Kahoot review game that focuses on the four target words of the week as well as a separate Kahoot game that is cumulative and includes all the words that learners have practiced at any particular point in the course. (For example in week 2 there will be one Kahoot game available to practice the four words introduced in week 2 as well as a Kahoot game to practice the words from week one and the words from week 2). ***When your learner logs into the game, please use their first name as an identifier so that I can follow their progress***
