Explore the world of Phonics in this fun class. We will be learning about beginning and ending blends, triple blends, long vowel CVCe words and long/short vowel three letter word families, double letters, beginning and ending digraphs and trigraphs while also improving spelling and writing skills and expanding vocabulary.

We will be using a multi sensory approach to help students lay a foundation for reading. Using engaging and interactive slides while seeing, hearing, spelling, writing and saying these sounds and words out together will not only make students have a fun learning experience, but also help learners retain more information.

This course will help students learn to tackle complex words, by providing a valuable shortcut in recognizing and pronouncing specific letter combinations within words.

This class is perfect for homeschooling students, after-school practice and even for ESL learners.
