This class is designed to boost your child's confidence and reading skills in an engaging and enjoyable way. While reading and spelling can be challenging topics, I believe the best approach is to make the learning process fun and interactive for students.

Throughout each lesson, your child can expect smiles, surprises, and plenty of opportunities to actively participate. The important learning will take place seamlessly, as your child is immersed in an environment that cultivates their reading abilities in a positive and encouraging manner.

My goal is to make reading an exciting adventure for your child, where they can develop their skills while feeling supported and motivated. By fostering a love of reading, I aim to set your child up for long-term success and confidence in this crucial academic area.

It is a small group class that has 1 live meet each week for 25 minutes. Each class has a specific literacy focus with additional practice provided.  Classes are delivered through an interactive slide show with surprises and games.

The class outline is as follows:
1.) Introductions and riddle
2.) Quick review of letter sounds
3.) Introduction of new skill
4.) Taking turns reading decodable text
5.) Decoding and writing words and/or simple sentences
5.) Games and activities

Homework:
After each lesson, I provide an email summarizing the skill covered and a worksheet for home practice. (Please ensure your class notifications are enabled). The assignment is not graded, but the answers are included to allow you (the parent/guardian) to evaluate the student's progress at home.

Communication:
I aim to collaborate with you in supporting your child's educational growth. You will receive updates after the first lesson and then at least every third lesson. These updates will include our observations and recommendations for your student. Feel free to contact me at any time. To ensure you receive these communications, please review your Outschool notification preferences.
