**This class is a follow-up to “Sounding Out Sight Words: Part 1.” Learners who have not completed SOSW1 should reach out to discuss whether this class is a good fit before enrolling.

In this class, your learner will receive the foundation for reading "sight words" (and so many other words as well), with clear rules and sound guides. This class is largely based on the "Logic of English" curriculum "Sounding Out The Sight Words" by Denise Eide and Cindy Kringelis. This curriculum is built on the science of reading. Learning the rules for the sounds is a far more efficient way of mastering so-called "sight words" than memorizing by sight. 

Students will be most successful if they have taken Sounding Out Sight Words 1, or reached out to discuss placement. The teacher reserves the right to withdraw students who have not completed part 1 or communicated with the teacher prior to enrollment.

Lessons will follow the following format:

Warm up, introductions,
Phonics or spelling skill introduced
Practice with the skill through games
Say-to-spell practice with high frequency words and others with the same sound patterns

Students should be prepared for class with a whiteboard and marker or paper and marker (marker makes it easier for me to see their work). Additional games and activities will sometimes be sent after class for additional practice.
