If your student needs a caring and engaging class to learn how to form letters correctly, introduce spelling patterns, build a strong phonemic awareness foundation, strengthen first sight word recognition and learn how to dictate complete sentences, this course would be a beneficial addition to their education! Feel free to have your child join this ongoing course at any time; however, due to the multi-sensory component of this course, please note that the requested supplies on the learner supply list are essential and required for your child's success and ability to participate in the live class instruction.

During each class, I will provide direct, multi-sensory spelling, literacy and writing instruction. Students will develop a deeper understanding of syllables, different letter sounds (phonemes), blend sounds, beginning spelling rules, word recognition and correct letter formation on large notebook paper lines. Each live class is designed to be incredibly engaging and interactive for each student, providing many opportunities for different senses and kinesthetic body movements to ensure different areas of your child's brain is engaged in the learning process. This helps strengthen retention, long-term memory and sustains children's interest throughout class. High repetitions and positive feedback is incorporated to each class meeting to help build student confidence and proficiency of the material. I will provide writing and spelling instruction utilizing CVC and beginning sight words in each class. Students will be supported and challenged by me throughout each class based on their individual needs. Although each student's needs are different, families should notice improvements in your child's reading, penmanship, letter formation or spelling abilities after just a few classes. Penmanship is usually the first thing to improve! We'll focus on reading, correctly writing, and spelling.

Each session of my multi-sensory reading, writing and spelling class will be structured based on a mix of 4-10 different words. Students will have repeated directed instruction opportunities to:
1. Hear the word 
2. Experience visuals and/or sounds for the word
3. Identify spelling patterns within the word
4. Read the word
5. Segment and divide the word into individual sounds and syllables
6. Build the word
7. Sensory work with the word
8. Learn proper letter formations and handwriting rules
9. Write the word independently
10. Use the word in a sentence verbally

Students that enroll in this course should be able to correctly identify the name and sound of at least 22 lowercase letters of the alphabet and know how to read the following words independently: "I", "a"

Because this is an ongoing subscription class, your payment will be charged each Sunday of the week a class is scheduled. If your child will be unable to attend all classes in a week, you may choose to unsubscribe from the class prior to Sunday and you won't be charged for that week; however, it isn't possible for me to hold your seat in the class when you unsubscribe if it were to fill up with another learner.
