In this engaging class, students will be introduced to word families, and learn to read by sounding out words through segmenting and blending. We will be using fun slides and games for an interactive experience that will help learners gain fundamental reading skills and become proficient readers. 

We will be focusing on one-syllable, three-letter (cvc) words, and also use fun decodable readers and worksheets that will help students practice what they have learned.

=================

Word families are groups of words that share the same endings such as -at (cat, bat, hat), -ed (bed, fed, red) etc. and they also rhyme. 

Learning word families help students recognize that many words share common patterns that enable them to progress from recognizing individual sounds to reading entire words. Throughout the course, students will learn over 170 cvc words.
