In this ongoing class, students will be given instruction to learn, practice, and master the letters of the alphabet!  Since this is an ongoing course, each class is a stand-alone lesson with one letter introduced.  Students may join this class at any point!  Since this class will meet twice a week, we will learn two different letters each week. We will work our way through the entire alphabet, in alphabetical order, from “Aa” to “Zz.”   When all letters have been taught, we will add digraphs “th, sh, ch, and wh.” During each class, students will learn and explore one letter (or digraph) in a “Read it, Say It, Write it, Show it” format:

Greeting/Introduction to Class and Class Rules 
Read it (Letter Recognition)
Say it (Letter Sound)
Write it (Proper Letter Formation for Handwriting)
Show it! (“Show and Tell” time: this can be one or two things that your learner would like to share with the class. One, or both, can start with our letter sound of the day, or neither! All show and tell items will be used in the learning, no matter what it is!) 

The Show and Tell portion of this class is always optional! If you have a shy learner who does not want to share, that is perfectly fine! I will always gently encourage all students to share if they choose to and even aid them in sharing if needed. I want all students to feel comfortable and have fun in my class! If your child would like to share something, just have it available and nearby for easy access during class! 

For the handwriting portion, we will learn correct letter formation and practice this through movement and writing.  Your child can successfully complete this class without any extra resources!  However, I encourage all learners to have some sort of writing tools, such as a whiteboard and dry-erase marker, magic doodle board, or pencil/crayons and paper.  I will include a print-out that can be printed before class for in-class use during the handwriting portion if you choose. This is always optional.
